1. Understanding the Layout of the Odds

The odds on this site are as seen in Las Vegas – a lot of info in a condensed space. (If you need a refresher on the terms used, please see below, or check the website section ‘bet basics’)

The formatting of the odds are broken down into 4 concepts:

1: #s to the left of teams

2: Teams

3: A minus next to one team, the favourite in the game

4: A total figure next to the other team, the underdog in the game

EXAMPLE:

951 Washington Nationals -130

952 St Louis Cardinals 7.5o15

These 4 aspects are Explained Below:

1: #s to the left of teams/cities

For baseball, this usually starts with 951 (or 901). This means that the first visiting team (visitors are always shown 1st or on top of the home team) of the day’s list of games will be team 951, in every casino in sportsbook. (Their opponent, the home team will be 952). These figures help with references so if you want to bet the visitor in the 1st baseball game of the day, you can go up to the sportsbook cashier and ask to bet team #951.

2: Teams/cities

In the middle, to your right of the team #s are the team names with cities. Again, the road team is always on top and the home/host team is on the bottom. In the EXAMPLE, Washington Nationals are the road team and St Louis Cardinals are the home team.

3: A minus next to one team, the favorite in the game

Next to whoever the oddsmakers deems to be the favorite in the game will be a minus, then a 3 digit number, the amount by which they are favourite. In the EXAMPLE, Washington is the favourite, -130. We know this because they have the -130 next to their name. -130 means you must risk $130 to win $100 on Washington (see ‘odds’ and ‘convert odds’) below for greater clarification. The other team is the ‘underdog’. In baseball there is usually a 5 cent line (or 10 cent spread between favorite and underdog) so if the favorite is -130, the dog is usually +120 meaning you get $120 for every $100 bet. Note: for other sports with a 10 cent line, a -130 favorite usually corresponds to a +110 dog. In this EXAMPLE, St Louis is the underdog +120, (but had it been another sports, they would have been +110). 4: A total figure next to the other team, the underdog in the game Next to the underdog is the ‘total’ or over/under for the game. In this case its 7.5 o 15. This means that the total is 7.5 runs and the over is the favorite (because it has an ‘o’ not a ‘u’) and you have to risk -115 (because there is a 15) to win $100 on the favorite side. Over unders use a 10 cent line like other sports so the other side would be -105, meaning you need to risk $105 to win $100 on the under 7.5 run total. Note: had there been just the number 7.5 and no ‘o’ or ‘u’, it means its 50-50 at 7.5 total runs and betting either over or under costs you 10 cents, or -110, standard ‘vig’. Note 2: Odds on over/unders do not usually go higher then 25, meaning risking -125 to win 100 (and getting +105 on 100 wager the other way). After that, the total is usually moved a half run.

What does 3v mean?

techtarget.com - What is 3Vs (volume, variety and velocity) - TechTarget

The 3Vs (volume, variety and velocity) are three defining properties or dimensions of big data. Volume refers to the amount of data, variety refers to the number of types of data and velocity refers to the speed of data processing. According to the 3Vs model, the challenges of big data management result from the expansion of all three properties, rather than just the volume alone -- the sheer amount of data to be managed. An organization can be better equipped to deal with big data challenges through understanding the 3Vs of their big data management. Gartner analyst Doug Laney introduced the 3Vs concept in a 2001 MetaGroup research publication, 3D data management: Controlling data volume, variety and velocity. More recently, additional Vs have been proposed for addition to the model, including variability -- the increase in the range of values typical of a large data set -- and value, which addresses the need for valuation of enterprise data.
