Reading and understanding sports betting odds can seem daunting at first, but with a little bit of knowledge, it can be quite simple.

The most important thing to understand is that odds are a way to express the likelihood of an event happening. The odds are usually expressed as a ratio, such as 3:1 or +300.

A ratio of 3:1 means that for every $1 you bet, you will win $3 if the event happens. A +300 odds means that for a $100 bet, you will win $300 if the event happens. Understanding these odds and how they relate to the likelihood of an event happening will help you make more informed decisions when placing bets.

This is a really great write up on how to ascertain odds on betting sites. I, for one, have been always confused when I see the addition sign and figures representing odds in certain American betting sites, but I am now aware of what they mean
