How to read American football betting odds 

American football odds are typically shown in a decimal format in Canada - to show the likelihood of each outcome happening. Decimal odds show potential winnings you could be earning in relation to how much you place on your bet. And they’re quite simple to interpret! 

The decimal number represents your winnings if you wager $1. So, for instance, if you chose a winning bet at odds of 7.0, and wagered $1, you’d win $7: this is made of $6 in prize, plus your $1 stake. Similarly, if you place a $10 bet, you’d return $70 in total, including your $10 stake.
