+110 is a positive American odds price meaning you're backing an underdog or a less likely outcome. The "+110" tells you exactly how much profit you'd earn on a $100 bet.
What +110 Means
- You bet $100
- Your pick wins
- You profit $110
- Total returned: $210 ($100 stake + $110 profit)
Implied probability: 100 / (110 + 100) = 47.6%
The market is saying this outcome has approximately a 47.6% chance of happening.
Where You See +110
Reduced-juice books: Some sportsbooks offer spreads at -105 on both sides instead of -110. But if one side is at -105 and the other hasn't moved to balance, you might see the other side at +110. This is a better deal than the standard -110/-110 market.
Moneylines on slight underdogs: A near-even game might have the favorite at -125 and the underdog at +110. Not quite even money, but close.
Alternate lines: A team that's listed at -3 standard might be available at +110 on an alternate spread of +1.5.
Finding Value at +110
If you believe the true probability of an outcome is above 47.6%, +110 represents positive expected value. For example: if you estimate 52% true probability, EV = (0.52 × $110) - (0.48 × $100) = $57.20 - $48 = +$9.20 per $100 bet.
