HOW WE RUN LINES

Understand How Our Odds Are Set and Shown

Consistent Format Display

American odds are shown by default across every market — NFL spreads, NBA moneylines, MLB run lines. Switch to decimal or fractional in account settings; the payout math stays identical either way.

Real-Time Line Movement

Odds update in real time as game conditions and wager volume shift. What you see when you open a bet slip is the line locked at confirmation, not the opening number from earlier that day.

Transparent Parlay Math

Same-game parlay and multi-leg parlay payouts are calculated from the combined decimal equivalents of each leg. Your slip shows the projected payout before you confirm so there are no surprises.

Player Prop Clarity

Player prop markets — rushing yards, points scored, strikeouts — carry the same American odds format as game lines. Each prop listing includes the stat category so you know exactly what you're wagering on.

Explore the Three Major Odds Formats

American odds are the default on our sportsbook — a negative number like -110 tells you how much you need to wager to profit $100, while a positive number like +150 shows what a $100 wager returns. Decimal odds, common in international markets, express total return per dollar staked, so 2.50 means $2.50 back for every $1.00 in. Fractional odds, written as

3/1, show profit relative to stake. Our lines for NFL games, college football, and NBA player props display in American format by default, and you can switch the display format inside your account settings without affecting the underlying payout math.

Quick Definitions for Common Odds Terms

What does -110 mean in American odds?

A line of -110 means you wager $110 to profit $100. It is the standard juice on spread and totals markets, representing the sportsbook's built-in margin on both sides.

What is a moneyline bet?

A moneyline wager is a straight pick on which team wins, with no point spread. Positive numbers show underdog profit on a $100 stake; negative numbers show how much the favorite costs to return $100.

What does the point spread mean?

The spread is a margin applied to the final score to level competition. A -6.5 favorite must win by seven or more; a +6.5 underdog wins the wager by losing by six or fewer points.

What are decimal odds?

Decimal odds show total return per unit staked, including your original wager. Odds of 1.91 mean a $1 bet returns $1.91 total — a $0.91 profit. They are the default format in most non-US markets.

What does vig or juice mean?

Vig is the margin built into odds that ensures the sportsbook profits regardless of outcome. At -110 on both sides of a spread, the book collects roughly 4.5 cents on every dollar wagered across the market.

What is an over/under or total bet?

A totals wager predicts whether the combined score of both teams lands over or under the posted number. Standard juice of -110 applies to both the over and under sides of the market.

Your Questions About Odds Formats Answered

Yes. Open your account settings, find the display preferences section, and switch between American, decimal, and fractional formats. The change applies across every market instantly and does not affect actual payouts.

Line differences reflect different betting volume, injury reports, and line-setting models for each league. College football markets can move faster and carry wider spreads than NFL lines because the talent gap between teams is larger.

Each leg's American odds convert to decimal form, then all legs multiply together. The result converts back to American odds for display. Correlated legs — like a quarterback passing yards and team total points — may be adjusted to reflect statistical overlap.

Off or suspended means the market is temporarily unavailable, usually because of a late injury, weather delay, or unusual wager volume that triggered a review. The line may reopen with adjusted odds once the situation is resolved.

Player props use the same American odds format but apply to individual performance stats — rushing yards in NFL, points in NBA, strikeouts in MLB. Payouts calculate identically; only the event being wagered on differs from a team-based outcome.

The sportsbook displays American odds as standard. To get implied probability yourself, divide 100 by the positive number, or divide the negative number by itself plus 100 — both yield the percentage chance the line reflects before vig.
