Boxing chances look something
Apollo Creed -200
Rocky Balboa +180
This means that Creed is your preferred and Balboa is the underdog. Favorites have a minus sign (-) until their chances and underdogs have the plus sign (+). In this case if you had $300 to play with, you can throw all of it on Creed and if he wins, then you would find a payout of $450 — your own $300 is returned, plus your winnings of $150.
On the flip side, if you had faith in Rocky and think he is likely to win, a $300 bet would net you a payout of $840 — you’d get your initial $300 back, plus your winnings of $540.
