What Does +190 Mean in Sports Betting?

+190 is an underdog price. The plus sign means the team is the underdog, and the number is how much you win on a $100 bet. At +190 a winning $100 bet profits $190.00, because the market sees this outcome as less likely.

-190 is the favorite price: you risk $190.00 to win $100, and a $100 bet at -190 returns $152.63 ($52.63 profit), with an implied probability of about 65.5%. +190 is the reverse, an underdog price where $100 wins $190.00. At a sportsbook, the favorite opposite a +190 underdog is usually priced steeper than -190, because the vig comes out of both sides. See the full -190 odds breakdown.

A $100 bet at +190 returns $290.00 total, which is $190.00 in profit.
