Direct answer: Decimal odds are the standard format many Brazilian players encounter. They show potential total return, while implied probability helps translate the price into a more intuitive percentage.
How decimal odds work
Multiply stake by decimal odds to estimate gross return. For example, R$20 at 1.80 gives a potential gross return of R$36, including the original R$20 stake.
Convert odds to implied probability
A simple implied-probability estimate is 1 ÷ decimal odds. Odds of 2.00 imply 50%; 4.00 imply 25%. Bookmaker margin means the implied probabilities across all outcomes can total more than 100%.
Payout is not profit
Gross return includes your stake. At R$20 on 1.80, the gross return is R$36 but the profit is R$16. Keeping those concepts separate avoids overestimating returns.
Odds movement does not guarantee information
Prices may move because of new information, market balancing, lineup changes or trading activity. A shorter price does not guarantee an outcome and should not be treated as a prediction by itself.
