80 cents on the dollar-200 pays 80?
I don’t quite ‘get’ that.80 cents on the dollar
Bet a dollar if you win you get $1.80 back.I don’t quite ‘get’ that.
Wouldn’t that be +180Bet a dollar if you win you get $1.80 back.
+180 would get you your $1 back plus another $1.80.Wouldn’t that be +180
1.00-.20=0.80So how does -200 get you 80 cents? I don’t understand the relationship between -200 and 80 cents. Can you explain the math?
Gonna kill my parlayIf you bet on the Yankees this game you lost! My Guards won and that’s what is important.
So how does -200 get you 80 cents? I don’t understand the relationship between -200 and 80 cents. Can you explain the math?
That’s what I thought. -200 means you have to bet $200 to win $100, and +155 means a $100 bet wins $155, right. I was thoroughly confused by Bigs .80 cents example.The ML is essentially the odds but you have to take into consideration that when you when you win you get back your initial bet plus the winnings.
- = favorite, better odds to win, less payout
+ = underdog, longer odds to win, better payout
+200 means 2-1. So you will win $2 for every $1 that you bet. If I bet $10 then I will win $30. That is $20 for the win (2 * $10) plus my original stake ($10). +250 is 2.5-1 and so on.
If it is -200 then it is 1-2. So you will win .50 for every dollar that you bet. If you bet $10 then you will win $15. $5 for the win and your original $10 back. -250 is 1-2.5 and so on.
Exactly right.That’s what I thought. -200 means you have to bet $200 to win $100, and +155 means a $100 bet wins $155, right. I was thoroughly confused by Bigs .80 cents example.
