    It simply means if you wager $100 on the Braves you will win $118.

    It means that if you bet 100 on atlanta, you will win 118. Using that proportion, it also means that you win 1.18 times what you put in.

    BSD,

    It is basically an indication of ratio or return on the amount of money bet. In your example, you could win the following:


    You bet $100, you get $118 ($100 X 1.18)
    You bet $500, you get $590 ($500 X 1.18)

    If, for instance, Atlanta happened to be -118, the following would apply:

    You bet $118, you get $100 ($118/1.18)
    You bet $590, you get $500 ($590/1.18)


    Hope that helps.
