    How to Read Odds

    Odds represent the likelihood of an outcome occurring. In sports betting, each team is assigned odds that represent the likelihood of them winning the game. American odds are what you will see displayed on every U.S. sportsbook and sports betting app.

    The first thing you will notice when reading odds will be that:

    • Odds have either a plus or minus in front of them.
    • Odds are in terms of 100.

    Betting Odds are written in terms of 100 as an industry standard. The easiest way to think of the plus and minus signs is as follows: If it is a plus, you will receive more than a $100 payout on a $100 bet. If it is a minus, you will have to bet more than $100 to win a $100 payout.

    Thankfully, you can view your potential winnings on each bet before placing it at an online sportsbook. That said, it is beneficial to understand the betting odds.

    Keep in mind for both spreads and totals, if the game ends in a draw for the bet, you get your stake back but do not win or lose any additional money.


    What is a Moneyline bet?

    A moneyline bet is a wager on which team will win the game outright. Both the favorite and the underdog are given odds to win the game. View sample bet slip.

    Moneyline OddsHow to Read itWhat it Means
    Lions +130Lions plus 130By betting $100 you will win $130 if the Lions win
    Packers -150Packers minus 150To win $100, you must wager $150 on the Packers to win

    What is a Spread bet?

    A spread bet is a wager on which team will cover the spread or point spread. Underdogs will be given additional points with the spread, while the favorite will have to win by a certain amount of points to cover the spread. View sample bet slip.

    Spread OddsHow to Read itWhat it Means
    Lakers + 5 (-110)Lakers plus 5 points at minus 110 oddsThe Lakers must win the game, or lose by less than 5 for you to win your bet
    Rockets -5 (-110)Rockets minus 5 points at minus 110 oddsThe Rockets must win the game by more than 5 points for you to win your bet. A tie is a push, meaning you don't win or lose.

    What is an Over/Under (Total) bet?

    An over/under bet focuses on how many points are scored, regardless of who wins the game. After a total point score has been set, bettors can wager whether the game's actual score will be over or under the preset point score. View sample bet slip.

    Total OddsHow to Read it
    Over 7 (-115)In order to win $100, you must bet $115 on the overall combined run score to be higher than 7
    Under 7 (-110)In order to win $100, you must wager $110 on the total combined run score to be less than 7

    What is a Parlay bet?

    A parlay bet is a group of bets, typically spread, moneyline, or total bets, combined into one bet to increase the payout odds. Every separate bet must win to win a parlay bet. View example bet slip.


    What is a Future bet?

    A futures bet is a bet on an event that takes place in days, weeks, or months. The most common future bets are placed on what team will win the finals before the season starts. View example bet slip.

    What are Bonus Rollover Requirements?

    Rollover requirements are requirements bettors MUST fulfill before they can withdraw the bonus money. Each type of bonus has different terms and conditions, which you should examine before accepting.

    Rollover requirements for sports betting often range between 1X-10X, with some extreme requirements going all the way up to 15X. For example, let’s say you deposit $100 and receive a $50 bonus with a 5X rollover. Before you can withdraw the $50 in bonus funds, you have to wager $750 (($100 + $50)x5). Clearly, the $50 bonus is a lot harder to obtain if you don’t bet frequently.

    This table gives you an idea of how much you will have to wager before withdrawing your bonus at multiple rollover rates. We will assume each deposit made is $100.

    Bonus Percentage ($100 Deposit)Bonus AmountBonus Withdrawal with 1X RolloverBonus Withdrawal with 3X RolloverBonus Withdrawal with 5X Rollover Bonus Withdrawal with 10X Rollover
    25% Deposit Match$25(100+25)x1 = $125(100+25)x3 = $375(100+25)x5 = $625 (100+25)x10 = $1,250
    50% Deposit Match$50(100+50)x1 = $150(100+50)x3 = $450(100+50)x5 = $750(100+50)x10 = $1,500
    100% Deposit Match$100(100+100)x1 = $200(100+100)x3 = $600(100+100)x5 = $1,000(100+100)x10 = $2,000

    Is sports betting legal in West Virginia?

    West Virginia sports betting is legal online and at brick-and-mortar casinos and racetracks. It became legal in March 2018 when Governor Jim Justice allowed S 415 and H 4396 to proceed into law without his signature. The first legal sports bet in West Virginia was then placed on August 30th, 2018. Jason Barrett bet $50 (to win $3,000) on West Virginia University to win the 2020-2021 football national championship. Unfortunately for Barret, even the wonkiest college football season of all time couldn’t stop Alabama’s Crimson Tide from taking home another championship.

    How old do you have to be to bet on sports in West Virginia?

    The legal betting age in West Virginia is 21. Even non-West Virginia residents who are 21 and within West Virginia state lines can legally bet on sports.

    Your location is a key part of the question of legality: If you travel to a state where betting isn’t legal, you will not be able to bet. (Don’t even try: Phones and laptops use geo-technology to make sure you’re within state lines.) The only people prohibited from betting on sports (even within the state) are athletes, coaches, refs, and other related personnel.

    Do you have to pay taxes on sports betting in CO?

    According to the IRS, “Gambling winnings are fully taxable, and you must report the income on your tax return.” Use Form W-2G to report gambling winnings and gambling losses. On the bright side, your gambling losses may be deductible from your taxes.

    For online gambling winnings over $600 and at least 300 times the amount of the wager, residents of West Virginia must file Form W-2G with the IRS.

    Is it legal to bet on horse racing in West Virginia?

William Hill persisted as the No. 1 online sports betting operator in Iowa throughout the year. The sports betting giant offers mobile wagering under three different licenses in the Hawkeye State, with the William Hill Sportsbook at Prairie Meadows license ending 2020 as the state’s top-earning operator.

A quartet of Caesars Entertainment-owned properties (Harrah’s Council Bluffs, Horseshoe Council Bluffs, Isle of Capri Bettendorf, and Isle Casino Hotel Waterloo) operate under a separate license, which came in as the third-highest earning operator in the state for 2020.

DraftKings Sportsbook (licensed to Wild Rose Casino) edged out Caesars for the No. 2 annual revenue spot with December’s figures factored in.

Monthly revenue tailed off a bit for the second straight month, with Iowa’s online sportsbook down 12.8% month-to-month. Iowa hit an all-time monthly high in October ($6,371,281), but revenue has dropped since then.

FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM Sit Atop The Mountain State

West Virginia’s mobile sportsbooks finished off 2020 on a steady stream of revenue production. October ($2,516,871) marked the all-time monthly high for online sports betting revenue, followed by similar numbers in November ($2,475,134) and December ($2,421,104).

The Greenbrier operates as the only land-based casino partner running multiple online sports betting skins. With FanDuel Sportsbook and BetMGM under the banner, the Greenbrier topped West Virginia’s mobile revenue by operator rankings for 2020.

The most recent additions to the Mountain State market (William Hill, Betly) still have a ways to go to catch the state’s mobile wagering leaders.
