I Don't Fully Understand Betting Odds, Someone Help Me Out

[LockardTheGOAT]

If someone is a -140 favorite and I bet one thousand on them to win, how much would I make? How much would I make if I bet five thousand?

You'd make $ 1714.29 and $ 8571.43, respectively.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

$1,000 on a -140 fighter would win $714.29

$5,000 on a -140 fighter would win $3,571.43

Think of it like this, you have to bet $140 to win $100 in this case. If it were +140, you'd win $140 for every $100 bet.

$140 on a -140 fighter would win $100

$100 on a +250 fighter would win $250

$1000 on a -140 favorite means that you'll get $860 in return. The minus is there for a reason.

 

[GOATER]

you gotta bet $1.40 to get $1....

If it was the opposite +140...you bet $1 to get get $1.40


The site does the math for u.

Isn’t it

$1000 bet

+140

1000 x 1.4 = 1400 win + total 1000 you bet = 2400 return including the 1000 you bet

-140

1000 / 1.4 = 714.29 win + total 1000 you bet = 1714.29 including the 1000 you bet


Or you lose an s you are out 1000


I don’t bet so I may be completely out to lunch.
