Paddy Power: How to change odds from fractions to decimals

By default Paddy Power shows odds in fractions. how to change them to be decimals by default? This is a very genuine and painful problem which any new punter faces. Most of these new punters will waste plenty of time before discovering this simple feature which is obfuscated by poor website design and no investment in UI design at all. Even I had hard time finding these settings when I started using these websites first time.

Here I’ll explain how to switch odds from fractions (default) to decimals. I’ll also explain how to change this settings in your account.

Paddy Power remains one of my most favourite bookies, their website is the easiest to navigate and they have kept it pretty simple. But when it comes down to switching odds from fractions to decimals they failed.

The option to switch odds between fractions and decimals is in Site Settings the left hand column below A-Z betting.

On Paddy Power you can switch between fractions and decimals odds from “Site Settings” which is in left hand column below “A-Z Betting”

Once you have changed the settings, it will remember it on your next visit provided you don’t clear browser cookies.

You can also change your website preferences to save the odds settings. This can be done after login->My Account->Website Settings->Show Odds As

There are many other website settings which you can customize to suit your need.
