no difference. Many non North American books use decimals while North American books use fractional odds or money lines.
1.5 is the same as 1/2 or -200
Essentially the decimal odds represent the amount you would get back multiplied by your odds. This is the full return including your stake So 1.5 returns $150 on every $100 bet or $50 profit.
Fractional odds are just that so at 1/2 you would win $100 for every $200 bet which of course is the same as 1.5.
when you see a money line it represents how much you would win for every $100 bet if its "+" or how much you have to bet to win $100 if it's "-"
1/5 fractional is 1.2 decimal is -500 money line
5/1 fractional is 6.0 decimal is +500 money line
1/1 fractional is 2.0 decimal is +100 or -100 money line.
