📖 How to read Super Bowl prop odds

Super Bowl coin toss odds are typically displayed with a positive or negative sign. Here’s a quick guide:

• Positive Odds (e.g., +100): This indicates how much you win on a $100 bet. For example, +100 means if you bet $100, you win $100 if your bet is successful. It implies that the outcome is considered an even bet.
• Negative Odds (e.g., -105): This shows how much you need to bet to win $100. For example, -105 means you need to bet $105 to win $100. It indicates that the outcome is favored.

The odds in this market will always be equal on either side. While the odds should be +100 to represent a 50% implied probability, some sportsbooks will charge a vig with odds of -105 for both heads and tails. The -105 odds represent an implied probability of 51.22% and the extra $5 added to a $100 bet to return a $100 profit is the sportsbook's cut.
