    So basically just divide by 100, and that will be the payout?

    Example:

    +220/100= 2.2. For underdog

    100/-250= 0.4. Inverse For favorite

    Got it 👍🏽

    Thanks fellas this video was super helpful for someone that's new to this like me.

    Not a good explanation. It’s all based on $100. If you pick the negative number, that’s how much you pay to win $100. If you pick the positive number, that’s how much you win if you bet $100. Example: -140 means you pay $140 to win $100. Example: +115 means you pay $100 to win $115.

    Thanks for this. I’m super brand new to money line betting. Maybe I missed this but I have a Question, how do you guys figure out the calculations of $ you make back? (How do you figure out that you’re getting $10 for every $1) (let’s say colts vs eagles, I picked colts +220, how would that work?)

    Is there any way to determine if the money line numbers are "fair" to bettors ?
    When you are betting against the number, you can take either side of the same number so there is no way
    for the casino to manipulate that. But how can you tell if the money line payoff for each, or either, team is fair ?
    It seems like casinos could easily manipulate the payoff for either team to be less than it should be.

    Put another way, if the Money line was -303 in this game for Dallas, can you calculate what the
    money line on Buffalo should have been ?
