Sports Betting at Fatpirate Casino: Odds, Markets and Live Wagers
Switch from 3/2 to 2.50
The British fractional odds format, such as 3/2, presents only the profit relative to the stake. In comparison to decimal odds, which are standard in Europe, 3/2 equates to 2.50. This means a 10.00 EUR stake at 3/2 odds yields a 25.00 EUR payout, comprising the original stake and 15.00 EUR in net winnings.
The American Moneyline format employs positive and negative numbers to denote payouts. A positive figure, like +150, indicates the profit earned for every 100 units wagered. For instance, +150 is equivalent to 2.50 in decimal odds, resulting in a 25.00 EUR payout from a 10.00 EUR stake, with 15.00 EUR profit.
Understanding these different odds formats is crucial for bettors, as they influence how potential returns are perceived. While the underlying probability remains the same, the presentation can affect a player's quick interpretation of value, especially when comparing offers across various platforms.
odds, markets and Live betting
NHL Main Market 4-7% vs Period Bets 7-10%
In NHL ice hockey, the main betting market margin typically ranges from 4% to 7%. This presents a relatively competitive offering for bettors focusing on core outcomes. For example, a 10.00 EUR bet on a main market outcome with a 5% margin would see a potential return of 19.00 EUR if the margin is 5% and the odds are 2.00.
However, when bettors opt for period-specific bets within NHL games, the associated margins increase to between 7% and 10%. This suggests that while more granular betting options are available, they come at a slightly higher cost to the player in terms of the bookmaker's edge.
This difference in margins means that a 10.00 EUR wager on a period bet, assuming odds of 2.00 and a 8% margin, would result in a payout of 18.40 EUR, a reduction of 0.60 EUR compared to a similar stake on the main market.
Small budget: why 1.30 yields little
For players with a smaller budget, betting on odds as low as 1.30 can result in minimal returns. For example, a 10.00 EUR stake at 1.30 odds generates a payout of 13.00 EUR, yielding a net profit of only 3.00 EUR. This illustrates the impact of low odds on overall winnings, even with a modest stake.
In contrast, a higher odds selection, such as 3.00, with the same 10.00 EUR stake would result in a payout of 30.00 EUR, offering a net profit of 20.00 EUR. This significant difference highlights the trade-off between perceived safety and potential reward when selecting bets.
Therefore, bettors with limited funds may find it challenging to accumulate substantial winnings through consistent low-odds betting. The relatively small profit margins per bet necessitate a high volume of successful wagers to achieve significant growth, which carries its own set of risks.
Volleyball Winner 5-8% vs Set Results 8-11%
In volleyball betting, the market for outright match winners typically carries a margin of 5% to 8%. This offers a relatively attractive proposition for players who prefer to focus on predicting the overall victor of a game. For instance, a 10.00 EUR bet on a winner market with a 6% margin would reflect odds of 1.90.
However, when focusing on more detailed outcomes like set results, the margins increase to a range of 8% to 11%. This indicates that the bookmaker's edge is higher for bets that require predicting the precise scoreline or individual set outcomes.
Consequently, a 10.00 EUR stake on a set result bet, assuming a higher margin of 9% and similar odds of 1.90, would result in a payout of 18.10 EUR. This difference of 0.90 EUR compared to the winner market underscores the increased cost of betting on granular outcomes.
Set Up System 2 out of 3 Correctly
A system bet covering 2 out of 3 selections means that at least two of the chosen outcomes must be correct for a return. This provides a safety net, as not all selections need to win for the bet to be partially successful. The wager is effectively split into multiple combination bets.
For example, a 3-fold accumulator broken down into 2-fold combinations would result in three separate bets. If two out of three selections are correct, only the 2-fold combination bet featuring those two winning selections will pay out. The bet is lost if only one or none of the selections win.
This type of betting structure can be particularly useful for players who are less confident in predicting all outcomes accurately, offering a chance for a return even with some incorrect predictions, unlike a straight accumulator where a single loss voids the entire bet.

Marge hängt stark vom Format ab
Change Odds Format from Decimal to Fractional
Fatpirate Casino operates with decimal odds as its primary format, a system widely understood in many international markets. This format presents the total return, including the stake, for every unit wagered. For example, a bet with decimal odds of 2.50 and a 10.00 EUR stake would yield 25.00 EUR in return, indicating a net profit of 15.00 EUR.
While decimal odds are standard, the platform allows for adjustments to display odds in a fractional format. This caters to users familiar with traditional British odds, such as 6/4 or 13/8. The conversion to fractional odds provides an alternative perspective on potential returns without altering the underlying probabilities or the casino's margin.
The availability of different odds formats can be beneficial for bettors accustomed to specific conventions. For instance, a user who typically engages with fractional odds may find it easier to quickly assess potential payouts on events like Rugby, where margins can range from 5-8% in main markets.
Set bets and point totals in Volleyball
Information regarding specific betting markets and point totals for Volleyball at Fatpirate Casino is not detailed within the provided data. Typically, sports betting platforms offer a variety of markets for popular sports. For example, in Basketball, markets can extend to player bets, suggesting a potential for diverse offerings in other sports.
While Volleyball-specific figures are absent, other sports like Tennis display a broad range of markets, from 120-200 for ATP/WTA matches, alongside odds percentages. This suggests that a comprehensive selection might be available for Volleyball, though exact numbers are not presented for this sport.
The absence of explicit figures for Volleyball betting markets means direct comparisons to sports like Football, which offers over 200 markets for top games, or E-Sports with 40-120 markets, cannot be made. Consequently, specific betting strategies for Volleyball point totals remain unaddressed.
What odds for a first goal scorer?
The provided data does not specify odds for a first goal scorer market within any sport. This type of bet, common in Football, is considered a special market. For instance, in Rugby, betting on specific try scorers can have higher margins, ranging from 8-11%, compared to the main match outcome markets.
For Football, the main 1X2 market before kickoff is between 4-7%, and live betting is 6-9%. However, the specific odds for a first goal scorer, which are typically longer due to the lower probability, are not listed.
Without explicit figures for first goal scorer odds, it is impossible to compare them to other bet types like outright winners in Formula 1, where margins can reach 12-20%. This leaves the potential payout for such a specific Football bet unquantified.
Live margin is 1–3 percentage points higher
Live betting at Fatpirate Casino typically features margins that are 1-3 percentage points higher than pre-match odds. This is a common characteristic across many sportsbooks, reflecting the dynamic nature and increased operational complexity of live wagering. For example, live Football betting margins can be 6-9%, compared to 4-7% before the match.
This increase in margin is also observed in sports like Table Tennis, where live betting can frequently exceed 10%, a noticeable jump from its pre-match range of 6-10%. The higher margin ensures the bookmaker maintains profitability despite the rapidly changing odds during an event.
The consequence for the bettor is a slightly reduced potential return on live wagers compared to equivalent pre-match bets. This means that for a 10.00 EUR stake on a live event, the potential payout might be marginally lower than if the same bet was placed before kickoff.
Which bet type suits a 10.00 EUR stake?
For a 10.00 EUR stake, a simple single bet is a straightforward option, where the payout is calculated as stake multiplied by odds. For instance, odds of 2.50 with a 10.00 EUR stake result in a 25.00 EUR payout, yielding a 15.00 EUR profit. This is a fundamental bet type available across all sports.
Live bets also accommodate a 10.00 EUR stake, but odds fluctuate rapidly. A bet placed when odds rise from 1.80 to 2.60 could yield 26.00 EUR, but acceptance can have a 3-8 second delay. These bets often carry a margin 1-3 percentage points higher than pre-match odds.
A Half-time/Full-time bet with a 10.00 EUR stake offers nine possible outcomes. For example, a 1/1 (Home lead at half-time and Home win) at 2.40 would pay 24.00 EUR. Less common results like 2/1 might offer significantly higher odds, potentially between 25.00 and 35.00 for the same stake.
What Happens with a Missed Pick in an Accumulator?
In an accumulator bet, a missed pick means all selections on that bet slip are considered losing ones. This is because an accumulator requires every individual selection to be correct for the entire bet to win. For instance, a five-fold accumulator with a 10.00 EUR stake would result in a total loss if even one of the five selections fails.
This contrasts with other bet types where a single incorrect prediction might not invalidate the entire stake. For example, system bets, such as a '2 out of 3' with selections costing 3.33 EUR each and a total stake of 10.00 EUR, allow for one incorrect pick and still yield a payout. If two selections win in this system bet, the payout can be 13.33 EUR.
The concept of a 'Kombi-Boost' can also influence the perceived loss from a missed pick, though it doesn't change the outcome of the missed selection itself. If a 10% Kombi-Boost was applied to a winning accumulator, the potential payout would be higher, but the presence of a missed pick negates any potential winnings regardless of the boost percentage.
What Does +150 Mean in Decimal Odds?
The odds format +150, commonly seen in American odds, translates to 2.50 in decimal odds. This means for every 1.00 EUR staked, a profit of 1.50 EUR would be returned, leading to a total payout of 2.50 EUR. For example, if a selection has odds of +150, a 10.00 EUR stake would result in a 15.00 EUR profit and a 25.00 EUR total return.
This differs from decimal odds, where a figure like 2.50 directly represents the total return per unit staked, including the stake itself. In contrast, fractional odds like 6/4 would also represent a 2.50 decimal equivalent. The American odds system indicates the profit on a 100 EUR bet when positive, and the stake required to win 100 EUR when negative.
Understanding these different odds formats is crucial for bettors to accurately assess potential returns across various betting platforms. While Fatpirate Casino might display odds in one format, comparing them to other bookmakers requires conversion, ensuring the best value is identified. For example, a 10.00 EUR stake at +150 odds yields a 15.00 EUR profit, which is a significant return compared to lower odds.
10.00 EUR stake: three bet types compared
With a 10.00 EUR stake, a European Handicap bet offers a different payout structure than a standard win bet. If a 10.00 EUR stake is placed on a European Handicap with odds of 2.20, and the condition is met (e.g., favorite wins by two goals with handicap 0:1), the payout is 22.00 EUR, resulting in a 12.00 EUR net profit.
A 'Langzeitwette' (Outright) with the same 10.00 EUR stake, if it wins at odds of 8.00, would yield a much larger payout of 80.00 EUR, with a net profit of 70.00 EUR. This reflects the longer waiting period and higher risk associated with betting on the outcome of an entire competition, which typically carries higher margins.
System bets also utilize a stake differently, distributing it across multiple combinations. A 10.00 EUR stake on a '2 out of 3' system bet, with three selections costing 3.33 EUR each, means each combination is backed with 3.33 EUR. If two selections win, one combination pays out, potentially returning 13.33 EUR if those two selections had odds of 2.00 each.
When does a system bet become worthwhile?
A system bet, such as a '2 out of 3' configuration, becomes worthwhile when at least two of the three selected outcomes are correct. For example, if three selections are made, and each costs 3.33 EUR for a total stake of 10.00 EUR, winning two selections will still result in a payout. If the odds for the two winning selections were 2.00 each, the payout for that single combination would be 3.33 EUR multiplied by 4.00, totaling 13.33 EUR.
The profitability of a system bet is directly tied to the odds of the individual selections and the number of correct picks. While a '2 out of 3' system requires two correct predictions to pay out, other system types, like '3 out of 4', would necessitate three correct predictions for a return, but would also cover more potential outcomes. The stake is divided amongst all possible combinations within the system.
Compared to an accumulator, where a single incorrect pick leads to a total loss, system bets offer a safety net, making them potentially worthwhile for bettors who wish to mitigate risk. For instance, an accumulator with the same three selections would lose the entire 10.00 EUR stake if only two were correct, whereas the '2 out of 3' system bet would still return 13.33 EUR in the example above.
Ice Hockey: Three-Way Market Only in Regular Time
In ice hockey betting, the three-way market, which includes the possibility of a draw, is typically confined to regular time only. This means that if a match goes into overtime or a shootout, bets placed on the three-way market are settled based on the score at the end of the third period. For example, if a game is tied after regulation and ends in overtime, any bet on a draw in the three-way market would lose.
This is a common distinction in ice hockey betting, differentiating it from sports where draws are rarer or not considered a distinct outcome in the primary betting markets. For instance, in football, the three-way market (home win, draw, away win) is applied to the entire match duration, including any potential added time but typically excluding penalty shootouts.
The margin for ice hockey markets can vary, with main markets ranging from 4–7% and period bets from 7–10%. Bettors should be aware that if they are interested in the final outcome including overtime, they would need to place bets on markets that explicitly include overtime or use a handicap that accounts for potential overtime scoring.
