What is American Odds?
US odds format using positive/negative integers anchored to a $100 base.
Definition
American odds (also 'moneyline odds') anchor to $100. A negative number (e.g. -150) is the stake required to win $100 — a favourite. A positive number (e.g. +200) is the profit on a $100 stake — an underdog. They are the default in the US sportsbooks DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and Caesars. Convert -150 to decimal: 1 + (100/150) = 1.67; convert +200 to decimal: 1 + (200/100) = 3.00.
Example
Lakers -150 means staking $150 to win $100. Knicks +200 means staking $100 to win $200.
