How to read NFL Super Bowl MVP betting odds
Reading the NFL Super Bowl MVP odds or just odds in general sounds difficult, but it really is quite straightforward. Below we will include a couple examples to explain:
- +500
Say the odds for your NFL Super Bowl MVP bets were +500. This means that if you made a $100 bet, your potential profit would be $500. Similarly, if you bet $10 your potential profit would be $50. If the odds have a plus symbol, then the number that follows is always what you would win from a $100 bet.
- -150
For this example, the odds would be -150. This means that you must bet $150 in order to win $100. If you bet $300 then you would win $200. If the odds have a minus symbol then the number that follows is what you would need to stake in order to win $100.
An easy way to look at it is that if there is a minus (–) sign, you will always be betting more to win less, while a plus (+) sign means you can bet less to win more.
