A buddy came to visit me in Vegas for his first time in town, we sat down at a book and he asked me how to bet his hometown hockey team. I told him they were -160, so that meant he'd have to bet 80 to win 50 or 160 to win 100. I felt like I implied that was just a ratio. So, he goes to bet, comes back. I said how much did you bet. he says 80 to win 50, you said that's what I had to bet. I gave him a better explanation after that, but luckily it won.

How do you calculate higher odds (-110 or -550) with multiplication?
