The number that follows shows you what you stand to win should you place a $100 wager. For example, -160 odds indicate you need to bet $160 if you’d like to walk away with $100 in profit.Ĭonversely, a plus sign represents the underdog. The number next to the minus sign will tell you the amount you’d have to wager to win $100. You can spot a favourite by looking for a minus sign. These odds identify favourites and underdogs with minus (-) and plus (+) signs. American odds are the most common way to display odds in North America and are the default option for online sportsbooks.
