To calculate the potential payout of a winning point spread bet, you start by determining the amount of your wager and the odds associated with the bet, which is typically presented in the format of negative odds for point spread bets. This means you would need to wager a specific amount to win a smaller amount. To calculate your potential payout, first, you consider your stake and then determine your profit based on the odds. If your team covers the spread, you would receive your original wager back plus an additional amount based on your profit, resulting in a total payout that includes both your initial stake and your winnings.

To calculate the potential payout of a winning point spread bet with negative odds, you need to follow these steps:
1. Determine your wager amount: Let's say you are placing a point spread bet on a team with odds of -110. This means that you need to wager $110 to potentially win $100 (your original wager plus $90 profit).
2. Calculate your profit: To determine your potential profit, you can use the formula (Stake / Odds) * 100. In this case, if you bet $110 at odds of -110, your profit would be ($110 / 110) * 100 = $100.
3. Calculate the total potential payout: Your total potential payout is your original stake plus your profit. In this example, if your team covers the spread, you would receive your $110 stake back plus the $100 profit, resulting in a total payout of $210.
By following these steps, you can calculate the potential payout of a winning point spread bet with negative odds.
