$20. When you see plus odds on anything, just think of it as $100 wins whatever the odds are. So +150 means $100 wins $150. Conversely, when you see minus odds, you're paying that much to win $100. So -150 means $150 to win $100. Then you can do the math from there assuming you're not betting $100

+/- is based on a $100 bet so $20. -$2000 would mean bet $2000 to win $100

Or know how it works. I found we are plus 2000 to win the national title. What exactly does that mean? So if I bet 1 dollar on Iowa State, how much can I win?


When it's a "plus" and a number, the higher the number, the more of a long shot it is for the bet to win.

Looking at those odds, UCONN is +450 so Vegas sees them as the favorite to win the championship.
Bet $100, win $450 if UCONN wins (plus your 100 back so you'd get paid $550).

Alternatively, just picking a team at random like Iowa. They are +35000.
Might as well be not gonna happen lol

+35000 for Iowa feels extremely low. Like, I might make a +35000 bet for them to make the field of 68, but definitely not to make the second weekend.
