(+) Yeah! (+)

I dont get the +/- odds that American companies use. Im used to odds can be explained by multiplying it. For example, if i put on 1000 and the odds is 2.05(underdog), i can just do 1000 x 2.05 and i will win 2050. The other guy has lower odds, like 1.75 (1750 if i win)

An American site will give +110(underdog?) odds on the guy. The other guy will get -130. Can someone explain it to me? :) how does the +/- system work? :)

Works the same way. If it's +110, and you bet 100$ you win $110. If it's -130, you have to bet $130 to win $100

The +/- tells you how much you have bet to win that amount.

So if something is +110 if you bet $100 you will win $110.
Negatives do the opposite. If you see one at -130, you have to bet $130 to win $100.

"Wins" in these examples mean in addition to the amount you bet. So if you want to bet on a team that is +110, and you make a $100 bet, you will get $210 back.
