[@pat_stone]

This is so unnecessarily complicated. The 100$ base amount is arbitrary and makes it annoying to convert to different amounts. And even worse, the logic changes if you bet on the favorite versus on the underdog. For the favorite it's "how much do I have to bet to get 100$". So the -115 symbolizes the amount you BET. For the underdog it's "how much do I get, if I bet 100$". So the +105 symbolized the amount you EARN. You can't tell me this is easier than just having a multiplier. e.g. Bills are 1.9 and Colts are 2.1. Whatever you bet, if you win, you get that amount times the multiplier. So if I bet 100 on the Bills and I win I get 190.

[@aaron_vdp]

Shhh that would be too logical lol. It's to better hide the fact that they take a pretty big cut

[@PTam09]

Thanks Pat. I don’t bet but I thought it was high time I learn about what was to me the annoying discussion I can’t avoid hearing when watching sports. Well, I came here expecting the video to teach me and you did a much better job!

[@stevechalke978]

Hey FANDUEL: Why not use the same algorithm for the favorite and the underdog? -115 means you have to bet $115 to win $100. But + 105 means you bet $100 to win $105. Those are two different methods. Why not simply specify how much you will win with the $100 bet for both the favorite and the underdog? In this case, it would be (100/115)x100 = about $87. So we would see Bills 87 and Colts 105, both conveying the same information (how much you win with a $100 bet) in the same way. This would be more clear, consistent, and understandable.

​​@@redbirdsjunkie Games tend to have numbers like that, especially for spread and totals. When they're both - numbers, the higher one is the favorite to win. You probably figured it out by now, but just incase someone else sees this

[@xavierxavier7057]

So basically I’m only getting 5$

[@tyzorg]

Someone didn't pay attention. No. If you have $100 to spend, the odds for the winner mean you need to spend $115 to win $100 = $215 back. Bet on the underdog $100, and you win $105 back = $205 total. You can use those numbers to determine how much for any greater bet. So if we x10 to make it $1000, it's the same principle, $1115 to win $1000 on the expected winner = $2115 back. - underdog you bet $1000 to win $1050 = $2050 back.

[@mistadreadman]

​@@tyzorgwhy have the favorite a - and the underdog a +? I've seen it where it's two digits, -21 and +17, what does that mean?

If someone doesn’t have the extra income to bet on sports then they should not bet on sports, but that’s their decision to make for themselves, not for you to rule and regulate for them. It’s more amoral for you to decide what is ok for other people to do and not do with their own money.
