Dumb Sports Betting Question

Postby Xaston » Tue Sep 27, 2005 11:06 am

On bodog.com they have the following lines

9113 Manchester United -350

9114 Benfica Lissabon +720

Draw +330


So does this mean to win $100 betting on Manchester United you must bet $350?

Betting $100 on Benfica nets $720 if they win?

Betting $100 on a draw nets $330 if it ends in a draw?

Yes, according to my understanding of the strange American odds system.

Yeah, I'm also confused about the American Betting system.

Are there any sports gamblers here who could explain them or post a link to a good explanation?

Any gamblers...?

You've got it right:

Here's a link to a full in depth explanation of betting on baseball, since it's that season:

If you just go to http://sportsgambling.about.com

and roam around, there are resources there for betting on quite a few different sports
