That's how you make your return after missing a year with a torn ACL

Pete Crow-Armstrong for the Cubs is having quite a season so far

Help me out here - I’ve stared at these kinds of numbers long enough without understanding them.

What’s the deal?

If you bet a dollar on the ML you’ll win .80 on the Yanks or 1.65 on the Guardians.

The over/under is 9.5 for runs scored.

The Yankees are favored by 1.5 runs.

-200 pays 80?

 

[Bigs23]

-200 pays 80?

80 cents on the dollar

 

[donbosco]

80 cents on the dollar

I don’t quite ‘get’ that.

 

[Bigs23]

I don’t quite ‘get’ that.

Bet a dollar if you win you get $1.80 back.

 

[farce©]

Bet a dollar if you win you get $1.80 back.

Wouldn’t that be +180

 

[Bigs23]

Wouldn’t that be +180

+180 would get you your $1 back plus another $1.80.

So how does -200 get you 80 cents? I don’t understand the relationship between -200 and 80 cents. Can you explain the math?

Help me out here - I’ve stared at these kinds of numbers long enough without understanding them. My Guards won and that’s what’s important!

What’s the deal?

If you bet on the Yankees this game you lost! My Guards won and that’s what is important.

 

[Bigs23]

1.00-.20=0.80
- means that team is favored, you win less when you a bet on a favorite.

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.

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.

Exactly right.

The Braves seem to suck this year.

I thought there was another thread devoted to meeting.
