What Does ‘-110’ Mean in Betting?

-110 is a common odds format used by bookmakers in the United States. It means that a bettor must wager $110 to win $100. The minus symbol lets you know that the selection is seen as a favorite, and you’ll need to wager more than $100 on that selection in order to make a profit of at least $100.

In American odds, an underdog is identified by having “plus” odds such as +120. This means that if you place a wager of $100 on that selection, you’ll receive a profit of $120 so it’s essential to understand the difference before placing your bet.
