Help Please

Guys I am going to ask a question here that might be so obvious it sounds silly but I swear I am having a complete mental block and the question is sincere.

Pinnacle list money lines differently than I am accustom to. I understand standard money lines but the way Pinnacle does it is absolutely straining what limited brain cells I have left.

Example:

Miami -1.5 (1.971) money line (1.877)
Boston +1.5 (1.935) money line (2.030)

Miami -1.5 (-110) money line (-125)
Boston +1.5 (-110) money line (+105)

I get -110, -135, +210, I know what I am doing with money lines this way but 1.563 or 2.010 I am lost.

How do I convert 1.935 into traditional money line?

Those are decimal odds wally.

You can just change it to display american odds on the upper left corner of pinny's page.

Or use:

You caught me cheating on my lesson Durito. Thanks for the help though.

I am going to use this thread to ask future questions. Most will be borderline below average IQ type questions but that's because I am becoming more and more aware that I have a below average IQ.

Wal, I find that using the "new" Pinny lines is easier to work with. If you drop them into Excel, you can strip off each part with the Excel left & right commands much easier than the old American lines.

Euro lines are superior in math handling also.

Indeed, Euro style odds are much better than American once you get used to them.
