Convert the 2 odds to decimal
(-100/-240)+1=1.4167
(-100/-210)+1=1.4762

(1.4167 x 1.4762) x $250 = $522.82 payout

($272.82 + $250 Wager = $522.82 payout)

Aren't you supposedly some great sharp? This should be easy to figure out. It's amazing how some of these older guys, like Ace Ace, can't do simple math or construct sentences.

You can convert to decimal odds in a single operation by dividing the total payout by the ML price. It's a bit quicker this way:

(340/240) x (310/210) x $250 = $522.82

1/ml * wager *100 = amount paid.

Thus if -200 and wager $250

1/200 *250 *100= $125.


If -500 and wager $100

1/500 * 100 * 100 = 20


So amount paid = Bet * 100/ money line get rid of negative signs. or you can just do bet/ money line (getting rid of the 100 -250 = 2.5, etc)

I hope I am expressing this correctly... It's how I calculate it.
