Takeaway

The odds are important in sports betting as it gives the public a measure of the events’ probabilities. In every negative odds, the outcome will likely happen. Positive odds, on the other hand, means that the outcome is less likely to occur. Hence, if you are planning to wager for your favourite team, you can check the odds and decide if it’s worth the risk.
