What LoL odds mean
A LoL price expresses the market's current implied chance for one side of a match. This board converts that chance into decimal format, where a shorter number implies a stronger favourite and a longer number implies an underdog.
Rows labelled Polymarket come from its public two-outcome match winner market. BO5 converts those probabilities into decimal display prices; they are market indicators, not bookmaker quotes or guaranteed executable prices.
A shorter price means a smaller return and a higher implied chance, and a longer price means the opposite. A price is a changing market estimate rather than a fact, so compare its source and capture time before using it to assess a match.
Decimal odds and implied probability
A decimal price is the total return on a winning unit stake, stake included. Divide 1 by the price for the rough implied probability. These are illustrative examples, not prices from the board.
| Decimal price | Implied probability | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 1.20 | About 83% | A heavy favourite. Returns 1.2 times the stake in total. |
| 1.80 | About 56% | A modest favourite in a match the market sees as close. |
| 2.00 | About 50% | An even implied split between the two sides. |
| 4.50 | About 22% | A clear underdog. Returns 4.5 times the stake in total. |
Bookmaker probabilities commonly add to more than 100 percent because of margin. Two-outcome prediction-market prices usually sit close to 100 percent, although spread, liquidity and fees still matter. BO5 normalises each pair before calculating the summary metrics, so the two displayed implied shares add to exactly 100 percent.
Reading a row and filtering the board
Each row carries the two teams, the event behind the match, its live status and the current price on each side. Search narrows the board by team or event name, and the status filter separates live matches from upcoming ones and from those carrying a price on both sides. Sorting runs on live status by default and can be switched to the widest gap between the two sides, the strongest favourite, the event or the team names.
The market numbers on this board, explained
The board publishes three figures above the rows, none of them defined anywhere else. Here is what each is calculated from.
Avg Favorite is the average strength of the favourite across every priced match on the board. For each match, both prices are converted to probabilities and normalised so they sum to 100 percent, the higher of the two is taken as the favourite, and those figures are averaged. A reading near 50 percent means the board is full of close matches. The higher it climbs, the more one-sided the average fixture is.
Widest Edge is the largest gap between the two sides of a single match anywhere on the board, in percentage points. A reading of 80 describes one match priced at roughly 90 percent against 10. It is not a comparison between bookmakers and not a measure of value: it identifies the most lopsided fixture currently listed, which is usually a mismatch in a lower-tier competition.
Priced Boards counts how many tracked matches carry a price on both sides, against the total tracked. A match with no market on one side still appears on the board but is not counted here, and is excluded from both figures above. When the board carries nothing, all three read zero. The equivalent figures on Dota 2 odds are calculated identically, so the two are directly comparable.
Which LoL matches actually carry a price
Not every professional LoL match has a market, and the ones that do are not evenly spread across the sport. A match appears on this board only when a tracked provider has priced it, which is a narrower set than everything being played.
Markets tend to appear where there is reliable fixture data and participant demand. Tier-one league play usually attracts deeper activity, but those leagues follow split calendars rather than running continuously. Regional and academy competitions fill more of the ordinary daily schedule, and their markets can be thinner or more volatile.
We would rather say this plainly than imply coverage we do not have: if a series you expect is missing here, the likeliest reasons are that its league is between splits, that no tracked provider has priced it, or that its match-winner market is not yet active in our feed. The LoL match schedule is the place to check what is actually running, and League of Legends betting covers legality and what to check in a book.
Betting on LoL responsibly
Betting is for adults only: 18 in most jurisdictions that permit it, and 21 in many US states. Whether any of these markets are available to you depends on where you live.
BO5 displays prices from tracked providers and does not accept bets. We are not a bookmaker and we hold no funds. Market prices carry spread, fees, timing risk and volatility; no result is predictable, and most people who bet lose money over time. Free, confidential support is available from BeGambleAware.

LoL Odds Questions
Does BO5 take bets on League of Legends?
No. BO5 displays prices from tracked providers and does not accept bets or act as a bookmaker.
Are these guaranteed executable prices?
No. A row is a recent capture from the source named beneath its event. Polymarket-labelled rows are decimal conversions of public implied probabilities. Prices, spread and availability can move at the source.
Why might an LCK or LEC match be missing?
The schedule can know about a fixture before an active match-winner market exists. Tier-one leagues also run on split calendars. A missing priced row therefore means the tracked source has no active market we can confidently connect to that fixture; it says nothing about whether the match itself is legitimate.
Why do LoL prices differ between markets?
Providers use different pricing mechanisms, margins and sources of liquidity. They also react at different speeds to roster news and market activity. Thin lower-tier markets can disagree or move more sharply than heavily followed tier-one fixtures.
How often do the odds on this board update?
The board refreshes regularly from tracked sources. A displayed price is still a recent capture rather than a guaranteed live quote, so confirm the current value and availability at the named source.
