    Just a quick question about American odds - why do you guys use the -xxx (i.e. Lisicki is -125), when the +xxx is so much easier to follow? Always intrigued me. Maybe it is easy for you guys to follow, and I"m just terrible at converting it mentally ahaha

    I guess because with decimal odds I'm always looking at profit from a one dollar investment i.e. the investment never changes, the odds do. Whereas here, the investment is changing. Just a different way of looking at it I suppose

    But for example, what would be my return if I wanted to bet 50? You can't do that in your head quickly. With the + format, you can

    It's a pretty pointless argument haha, just a question because I've never really dealt with the american system in depth
