  1. This is so unnecessarily complicated. The 100$ base amount is arbitrary and makes it annoying to convert to different amounts. And even worse, the logic changes if you bet on the favorite versus on the underdog. For the favorite it’s "how much do I have to bet to get 100$". So the -115 symbolizes the amount you BET. For the underdog it’s "how much do I get, if I bet 100$". So the +105 symbolized the amount you EARN. You can’t tell me this is easier than just having a multiplier. e.g. Bills are 1.9 and Colts are 2.1. Whatever you bet, if you win, you get that amount times the multiplier. So if I bet 100 on the Bills and I win I get 190.

  2. Hey FANDUEL: Why not use the same algorithm for the favorite and the underdog? -115 means you have to bet $115 to win $100. But + 105 means you bet $100 to win $105. Those are two different methods. Why not simply specify how much you will win with the $100 bet for both the favorite and the underdog? In this case, it would be (100/115)x100 = about $87. So we would see Bills 87 and Colts 105, both conveying the same information (how much you win with a $100 bet) in the same way. This would be more clear, consistent, and understandable.

  3. The fact that they didn’t use the same bet and show the different payouts is monumentally annoying.

  4. I see both negative odds everyday on player props, for example a player’s points line can say Over 21.5 -120 / Under 21.5 -110, which prop line would be considered the favorite?

  5. I I don’t know what is going on these days. There is no one among the leaders of the countries to stand and stop these things. These things are very bad and should not be . Countries should not accept this. People are dying from it
