Browse How We Keep Our Lines Accurate

The odds we post are drawn from real-time market feeds and updated continuously — including live in-game lines for NFL, NBA, MLB and college football. Here's what keeps the numbers honest on our end.

Real-Time Line Feeds

Our odds update from live market data. When a line moves — say, an NFL spread shifts from -3 to -4.5 — your open bets lock at the price you accepted, not the new one.

Parlay Payout Transparency

Same-game parlay returns are calculated and shown before you confirm. The ticket displays each leg's odds, the combined decimal multiplier and your projected payout in full.

Odds Format Consistency

Whichever format you pick — American, decimal or fractional — the implied probability behind each number is identical. We don't adjust margin by format.

Market Audit Trail

Every bet you place is time-stamped with the odds at confirmation. You can review the full detail in your account history, including any line movement after you bet.

xiao888 Explore the Three Formats on Our Sportsbook

Explore the Three Formats on Our Sportsbook

American odds are the default on our sportsbook — a negative number like -110 tells you how much you need to wager to return $100 profit, while a positive number like +150 shows what a $100 bet returns. Decimal odds roll the stake into the return figure, so 2.50 means your total payout is 2.5x your stake. Fractional odds, common in horse

racing markets, show profit as a ratio: 5/2 means $5 profit for every $2 wagered. All three formats display the same underlying probability — they just express it differently. Switching between them inside our mobile account takes one tap in your display settings.

Switch On Key Sportsbook Odds Terms

These are the terms that come up most often when you're reading a sportsbook line. Each definition is kept short so you can check it fast while a market is open.

What does moneyline mean in sports betting?

A moneyline bet is a straight win/loss wager. Negative odds (-150) mean the team is favored; positive odds (+130) mean the team is the underdog. No point spread involved.

What is implied probability in sportsbook odds?

Implied probability converts odds into a percentage chance of winning. A -110 American line implies about a 52.4% chance. It tells you what the market thinks, not a guaranteed outcome.

What is the vig or juice on a bet?

Vig (also called juice) is the sportsbook's cut built into the odds. Standard NFL spreads are priced at -110 both sides, meaning you pay a small margin above true 50/50 probability.

What does ATS mean in NFL betting?

ATS stands for against the spread. A team covers ATS when it wins by more than the spread (favorites) or loses by less than the spread (underdogs). Used to track team performance in spread betting.

What is a push in point spread betting?

A push happens when the final margin equals the spread exactly. Your original wager is returned in full. Common on whole-number NFL spreads like -3 when the favorite wins by exactly three.

What are player props in sportsbook betting?

Player props are bets on individual athlete stats — passing yards, points scored, strikeouts — rather than game outcomes. Available on NFL, NBA and MLB markets with their own set odds lines.

Open Answers to Common Odds Format Questions

These are the questions we hear most from new and returning accounts when they're getting comfortable with how lines are priced and displayed on our sportsbook.

Go to your account settings, find the Display Preferences section, and select your preferred odds format. The change applies immediately across all open markets, including live in-game lines.

They express the same value differently. American -110 equals decimal 1.91 and fractional 10/11 — all imply roughly the same payout. Decimal includes your stake; fractional and American show profit only.

Multiply all decimal odds together, then multiply by your stake. Three legs at 1.91, 2.10 and 1.75 give a combined multiplier of about 7.01. A $20 stake would return roughly $140.20 total if all legs hit.

A negative number tells you how much you need to wager to win $100 profit. At -150, you wager $150 to net $100. The bigger the negative number, the heavier the favorite according to the market.

Fractional odds are available on all markets if you set that display preference, but most American sports bettors leave the default on American moneylines — it's the format the NFL and NBA audience uses most.

No. The format is purely a display setting. The underlying payout is identical regardless of whether you're reading the line in American, decimal or fractional. Your confirmed bet amount and return never change based on display.
