FA-84456 / Betting odds conversion / Open access

Negative Malay price computed as negated profit · case 01

A 2.25 price shows -1.25 instead of -0.80 in Malay format.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 9 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The negative branch negates d - 1 instead of taking -1 / (d - 1).

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use -1 / (d - 1) above evens.

Unsuccessful approach: Using -1 / d confuses the Malay price with an implied probability.

Case contract

Convert a decimal price (> 1, else "invalid") to an Asian odds style. hk: d - 1. malay: d - 1 when d <= 2, else -1 / (d - 1). indo: d - 1 when d >= 2, else -1 / (d - 1). Other styles return "invalid style". Values are rounded half away from zero to two decimals and formatted with a leading "-" for negatives.

Why this case matters

Asian-facing sportsbooks show Hong Kong, Malay and Indonesian prices with sign conventions.

Verification & scope

Stipulated, bounded toy contract stated in the contract field; not a claim of conformance with any operator, exchange or regulator rule set. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
