Long odds is a betting term used to describe an outcome that is not likely to occur. This could refer to a large underdog in a given match or a team's championship odds. Long odds are commonly referenced using fractional odds.

The benefit of wagering on a market with long odds over short odds is the larger payout relative to the initial risk amount.
