How Hong Kong Odds Work

Hong Kong (HK) odds show pure profit per unit staked — they don't include your stake back like decimal odds do. This makes the math extremely direct.

        Formula: Profit = Stake × HK Odds

        Total Return: Profit + Stake

        Relationship to Decimal: HK Odds = Decimal Odds − 1

Worked Example

You bet HK$100 at HK odds of 1.45:

Profit = HK$100 × 1.45 = HK$145
Total return = HK$145 + HK$100 = HK$245
Decimal equivalent: 1.45 + 1 = 2.45

Malay & Indonesian Odds (Related Formats)

Hong Kong odds are part of a family of Asian formats. Malay odds and Indonesian odds use signed values (positive/negative) instead, similar in spirit to American odds but scaled differently. All three are common across Southeast Asian and Chinese-facing sportsbooks, particularly for football and basketball Asian handicap markets.
