What happens if you bet on negative odds
Moneyline Bets: Negative Odds
Negative odds denote favored teams. This also means that your wager won't profit as much as it would if it was a positive number although you're more likely to win the bet. For instance, a $100 wager on +220 odds would return a profit of $220.

What does minus 3 odds mean
This means that if you bet on a team's spread at -3, then the team must win by at least 3 points for you to win your bet. If a team wins by 3 points and you bet them at a -3 point spread, then your bet would be graded as a push. A push means your original wager amount would be returned to you.
Why would you bet negative odds
The minus sign shows you which team is favored. When you bet on the favorite you get worse payout odds on your bet since they're more likely to win. The team with a negative number (like -110) is the favorite.
Can you win on negative odds
Negative numbers (in American money line odds) are reserved for the favorite on the betting line and indicate how much you need to stake to win $100—you generally need to put down more to win $100 on the favorite.
How do you win money on negative odds
The negative number shows how much has to be risked to win a $100 payout. Thus, if the money line for the team that you picked was -400, it means that if you placed a successful $400 bet, you would gain $100 on payout. This means that the bettor would have risked $400 and ultimately gained $100.
What does +200 mean for odds
They are American money line odds; for example, +200 signifies the amount a bettor could win if wagering $100. If the bet works out, the player would receive a total payout of $300 ($200 net profit + $100 initial stake).
Do you get your wager back on negative odds
Of course, if you win, you get your bet back as well. To figure payout on negative odds, take the number from the negative line and divide it by 100. Continuing with our example, that would be 770/100=7.7. Then divide your wager by that number, which would be 50/7.7=6.49.
What does negative 100 odds mean
Whereas negative (-) odds tell you what you have to bet on the favorite to win $100, positive (+) odds tell you how much you'll win for every $100 you wager on the underdog. So, a team with odds of +120 would payout $120 for every $100 wager.
What does +125 mean in odds
For example, if a team is a -125 favourite that means you would need to wager 125 to win 100. If a team is a -600 favourite that means you would need to wager 600 to win 100. The greater the favourite, the more you would need to wager to win 100.
