What does +100 mean in betting?
+100 is even money: risk $100 to win $100, or $10 to win $10. The price says 50%, so any bet that wins more than half the time makes money at +100.
In plain words
+100 is even money: whatever you bet is what you win. $10 wins $10, and $100 wins $100.
The price says exactly 50%. A bet that wins 51 times in 100 at +100 makes money; one that wins 49 times loses it.
A true +100 on both sides is rare, because the book adds its cut somewhere. When one side shows +100, the other is often -120, and together they add up to 104.5%.
Where you see +100
Even money. Common on close baseball and hockey moneylines and on some player props, rarely on both sides at once.
