As a European, I have so much trouble understanding the American odds. Thanks for the explanation!

[@thesportsgeek726]

Absolutely! Glad we could help!

[@kirilsmirnov]

European odds calculated without plusing the wager:
20$ x 1.55 = 31$
Otherwise you could bet equal amount on both and win more than both of your wagers

Great video

[@tobrien1112]

Thank you, great video! This is the best explanation I’ve found thus far!

[@isackast7801]

[@RamosJulio-ps5hh]

Keep your moneyline odds, keep your Fahrenheit, feet, ounces, cups, and whatever shit you use

[@kaylamcnutt7243]

Thanks

[@amerzian]

This seems like a great explanation but I guess I’m just a moron!

You are not, i watched in hopes of finding the breakdown of what i press on the calculator for 80$ wager on a -135. I am still at square 1.

[@Y0y0Jester]

PHAHAHAHA this is phenomenally hilarious. Only an American could come up with such an unintuitive and backwards-thinking system. Keep your moneyline odds, keep your Fahrenheit, feet, ounces, cups, and whatever shit you use 😂😂 The only sensible reason I could come up with in favor of this is that it might deter young adults or kids from gambling. Maybe that's one of the intents behind it.
