How does a negative bet work?
The number that follows the negative symbol (the odds) reveals how much to bet for every $100 you want to win. For example, as explained above, if the team you're betting has -110 odds, you need to wager $110 to win $100. If your team has -150 odds, you must risk $150 to win $100.
