Bernardini Match-Ups at Pinnacle

Why do they always make these types of match ups confusing? Why cant they just have one standard odds system like horse racing. I dont get it.

Most gamblers are used to either kinds of odds. The odds they gave are baseball odds or money-line odds for other sports.

I'll give you the approximate standard horseracing odds:

Bernardini 3-5 vs Field 8-5

Bernardini 2-5 vs BGC 2-1

Thanks Richi. I am ignorant when it comes to betting sports, so very unfamiliar with any kinds of odds besides the system used in horse racing.
Good luck tomorrow.

Here is what it means. Let's say that the Yankees are at home and they're playing some crappy team. The yankees would probably -230. That means that you would have to bet $230 just to win $100. In other words, if you went up to a betting window in LAs Vegas and handed them $230 and the Yankees won, you would get back a total of $330. You would make a $100 profit.

If you wanted to bet the crappy team against the Yankees, the odds on the crappy team would probably be +210. That means you would make $210 for every $100 you bet. If you went up to the window and put $100 on the crappy team and the crappy team won, you would get back $310, meaning you would make a profit of $210.
