    Bodog: Odds Risk Question

    Hey all, pretty new to this "American" betting style. (bodoglife.com)

    Say Odds are +150 and I wager 100 dollars, do I get 150 total or 250 (150 win and my 100?)

    250, Win of $150 plus $100 (your bet) -- So, if you had $100, placed it on a +150 wager, your bankroll would be $250 after the decision.

    conversely if price is -150, you'd win 67.

    yeah, figure that shit out rookie.

    then work on feets and inches.

    Favorite win: -(wager)/(0.01 * line)

    Dog win: (wager * line)/100

    isn't that confusing.

    Luckily my rookiness is wearing off and I figured that the site allows decimal odds too, which is what I'm used to
