How to Read Odds




I know, you're looking at all those numbers and thinking, "Never mind, I have no idea what I do, I will not bother." Believe me, I was so NOT math major in college. In fact, I had trouble figuring out my budget shops for a week. But I learned how to get my numbers right. Below, I'll walk you through all those numbers and give you the scoop on what it all means!


betting on entertainment events and celebrities called the proposal or Prop betting odds. Basically, it's just a fancy way Terming this as an exotic bet types, not an average bet sporting event. You are betting on the proposal of something happening in the future, but knowing the benefits of the team, as in football and baseball betting.


BetUS: Money Lines


First we'll look at how the BetUS and put their surplus. They have their props in the style of entertainment money line bets. Basically this means that the probability that the outcome most likely event, from that point of view, will be presented with a minus (-) and least likely, from this point with a plus (+). It took me a minute to think through, but when you see our example, it would make more sense.

Since both genders can win the reality show, the numbers are relatively small and have either a plus or a minus sign before the number. This means that these events are very likely or unlikely, depending on how the competition going at that point in the season.


In this prop are the male and female in 260th -420 If we were able to bet without restrictions at the border, if we wanted to beat the guys we have to drop to $ 420 to $ 100 (and get back the original $ 420 we put in). A woman at this point in the series does not seem likely to win, so they have a plus sign, which means that they are underdogs. So if the girls pull upset at theend of of the season ,if you put down $ 100 on them , you'dget $ 260 ,along with the original $ 100 back . Now, if we want to reduce it for the money could actually bet with the restrictions in place, betting $ 42 on the guys and they win the networks you $ 10 plus $ 40 and $ 10 bets on the girls and they win the networks you $ 26 plus the original 10 dollars. Still does not make sense? Just drop us a question and we will be happy to help.


Bodog: Money & Fractions Lines


Finally, look for Bodog. Bodog has their props in both money lines and factions.
You already know how to work the money line (you can look at places such as Bodog odds with the picture of Donald Trump / Melania Knauss baby). Click to see full size of this inequality. View Full Size | Go to Bodog


View Full Size | Go to Bodog fractions work in a similar way to decimal. The second picture is a preponderance of the Apprentice: Martha Stewart goes to show week four. So far, everyone who was up with the odds and has been eliminated is removed from the list of coefficients. For example, a week before that, you had money down on Shawn winning, you lost all your money, because she was fired. If you look at the full size image, brand will help.


Fractions work like this: The lower number is the number that will multiply your stake, and the upper number is the number that would multiply the figure out how you won it would add to the amount you bet. Let's break down. Currently favored to win, according to the oddsmakers, Amanda on 14 / 1 (or 14-in-1). This means that if you put down $ 10 on it to get hired, you win $ 140, and get back your $ 10. favorite person to win right now is Bethenny on 2 / 1, which means that if you put down $ 10 for it to go all the way, you'll win $ 20. Now, you'll see that both Howie and Dawna are at 7 / 2 odds, which means that if you put down $ 20, you'll get $ 70 if they win the competition, plus your $ 20 back. Let us know if you have any questions!


make sense? Now armed with information about the numbers, it is time to begin to address these issues and make a cocktail a bit of money!
