Sports Betting 100
American odds, depending on whether there is a negative (-) or a positive (+) sign, indicate either the amount of money you need to bet in order to win $100 or the amount of money you would win for. You can easily substitute the $100 bet for a $10 bet by moving the decimal place over one spot, showing us that you would need to wager $14 in order to win $10 in profits. Examples: A listed odd with a + sign. The magic number in sports betting is -110 because it defines the amount required by a sportsbook to earn $100 on either side of most wagers. A bettor must lay $110 to win $100 when wagering on point.
