Sports betting odds represent the probability of a specific outcome occurring in a sporting event. They also provide insights into potential winnings based on your wager. Let’s break it down:
- Moneyline Odds:
- Moneyline odds indicate the likelihood of a team winning. They are expressed as either positive or negative values.
- If a team has negative odds (e.g., -200), they are the favorite. A 200 bet would yield a $50 profit (total payout of 300).
- If a team has positive odds (e.g., +200), they are the underdog. A 200 bet would yield a $200 profit (total payout of 300).
- Reading Odds:
- When you see odds, the unfavorable outcome comes before the favorable one (e.g., -200/+200).
- Low odds suggest higher likelihood, while high odds indicate a less likely outcome.
