    Converting Point Spreads to Decimal
    Example, you have NFL line of -7 -120. What formula would you use to combine the spread and the odds into a decimal??


    Appreciate any help or feedback!

    Best you'll find is to use the halfpoint calculator.

      I love Decimal pricing. I think it's so much easier to think in terms of a $100 base risk.

      If your lay is a favorite (with a minus in front): DECIMAL = (100+120)/120 = 220/120 = 11/6 = 1.83.
      ...If you are playing a Dog (w/ a plus in front): DECIMAL = Dog/100 + 1.00.
      ...So a +150 Dog would be 150/100 + 1.00 = 2.50.
      Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?
