The important thing to remember here is that the positive sign represents the amount won for every $100 wagered, while the negative sign represents the amount you need to wager in order to win $100. Positive signs are used to denote the bet’s underdog, while the negative sign indicates the favorite. American odds are easy to distinguish from all others because they contain a positive (+) or negative sign (-). At Sidelines, all odds are expressed in the American odds format.
