+Odds Meaning
+1000 betting odds means you risk $100 to win $1,000. Sides with + odds are longshot underdogs. You’ll see +1000 odds in futures betting markets and with the occasional moneyline bet with a heavy favorite.
Divide the + moneyline by 100. Then multiply the quotient by your wager amount. In this case, (1000/100) = 10, and $100 x 10 = $1,000. Here’s a sample calculation table.
