Is 30 1 a good bet?

With the standard 30-1 you'd get at most craps tables, bets on 2, 12 or hard hop bets give the house a 13.89 percent edge. If the payoff is 31-1, the edge drops only to 11.11 percent. True odds are 35-1, so there's a long way to go from 30-1 before these become viable bets.

Gaming Odds Explained: 30 To 1 vs. 31 For 1

By John Grochowski on Thursday March 22, 2018

A craps player wrote to me recently to say he’d found an automated game that looked like it had better odds than he found at table games. “Instead of 30-1 on 2 or 12, it pays 31-1 and instead of 15-1 on 3 or 11 it pays 16-1,” he wrote. “Hardways pay 10-1 and 8-1 instead of 9-1 and 7-1.” I told him he needed to check the machine again. It was likely the machine was paying odds-for-1 instead of odds-to-1, and that the payoffs he was seeing were just normal returns expressed in a different way. It’s common for machine games to pay odds-for-1 because the game has already taken your bet before the roll takes place. On a table that pays 30-1, if you win your bet on 12, you keep your 1-unit bet and get 30 units in winnings, for a total of 31. On a machine that pays 31-for-1, the machine keeps your bet when you make it, but pays 31 units on a win — still a total of 31 on your side after a win. So 31-for-1 is the same as 30-to-1, 16-for-1 is the same as 15-to-1, 10-for-1 is the same as 9-to-1, and so on.

What if the game really was paying 31-1 on 12, and not 31-for-1?

With the standard 30-1 you’d get at most craps tables, bets on 2, 12 or hard hop bets give the house a 13.89 percent edge. If the payoff is 31-1, the edge drops only to 11.11 percent. True odds are 35-1, so there’s a long way to go from 30-1 before these become viable bets.

What about the hardway payoffs the reader described?

When your payoff is 9-1 on hard 6 or 8, the house edge is 9.09 percent, and when you’re paid 7-1 on hard 4 or 10, the house edge is 11.1 percent. If the pays were increased to 10-1 and 8-1. they’d match the true odds of winning these bets. The house edge would be zero. That reinforces the likelihood the game is paying in odds-for-1. Any time the odds paid on a machine version of a table game look higher than the table version, check to see if the payoffs are for-1.

americangambler.com - What does + 5.5 mean in NFL betting? - American Gambler

The most popular form of NFL betting is by the spread. When looking at the spread for an NFL game, each team in the game will have a plus or minus. The team with a + is the underdog, so they are receiving points. The team with a – number is the favorite, so they are giving up points. If you are betting on the favorite (-), they have to win by more points that the spread indicates. On the other hand, if you bet on the underdog (+), they only have to get within the spread for your bet to win. For example, let's say the Dallas Cowboys (+5.5) are playing the New England Patriots (-5.5). If you bet on the Cowboys, they don't have to win, they just have to lose by 5 points or less. If you bet on the Patriots, they have to win by at least 6 points.

How do you read the odds on a spread?

For spread betting, the odds are always close to even. The spread is set differently for each game, which depends on odds makers and advanced algorithms. The odds on each spread will be around -110. It could move slightly if one team is receiving more wagers than the other.

How do spread bets pay out?

Since the odds are similar on both sides, you will come close to doubling your money regardless of who you bet on. Unlike betting on moneylines, the underdog and favorite will pay out close to the same, if not exactly the same.
