American odds (also called moneyline odds) are the default display at most North American sportsbooks, and many Canadian and crypto books let you switch to decimal odds instead. They are built around $100.

• A minus price, such as -130, is how much you must stake to make $100 profit.
• A plus price, such as +240, is the profit on a $100 stake.

Even money is +100, which doubles a winning stake.

Worked examples

• $65 at -130: profit = 65 × 100 / 130 = $50. Total back: $115.
• $25 at +240: profit = 25 × 240 / 100 = $60. Total back: $85.

Converting to decimal

• Minus: 1 + 100 / odds. -130 becomes 1 + 100 / 130 = 1.77.
• Plus: 1 + odds / 100. +240 becomes 3.40.

And back again: decimal 1.77 converts to about -130 (100 / 0.77 = 129.9), and 3.40 to +240.

Quick read

The bigger the minus number, the bigger the favourite. The bigger the plus number, the longer the shot. To compare a price with your own estimate, convert it to implied probability: -130 is 56.5%, +240 is 29.4%.
