Red face Some help from you betting Pros please

Hey everyone. I'm Nac, for those of you who don't know me yet. For a few months now I've been betting on Sports Interaction, and recently my account finally depleted. After a rather heated phone conversation with one of their reps regarding a bet I didn't agree with, I've decided to take my business elsewhere.

I'm looking at this BetJamaica site, but I was wondering if someone could explain how the bets work when the odds use +120 or -115 as opposed to the decimals, which I'm used to. I know it's kind of a noob question, but I don't wanna start betting until I understand completely how this format works.

Thanks in advance.

+120 means risk 100 win 120
-115 means risk 115 to win 100

So the -115 means they're the favourite then. Ok I think I got it. Thank you very much, HD.

I prefer a site that has the extra measures, and with some sites, its a lengthy paperwork process, but with Betjam, you should be good to go pretty quickly. They are unbelievably efficient. Only only complaint I could possibly have is they don't always have a lot of props and stupid shit like that, but I most likely would just waste my cash messin around with those anyways.

hey Nac, ive used sportsinteraction thier odds are pretty terrible.
Your from Canada so I really suggest using Pinnacle sports, by far the lowest juice (best odds) on the net.
But shop around for games with a variety of sites for the best prices.

If you are from Canada, Pinny is by far the best. They were probably the most respected book in here until things chanced and they were forced out of the U.S. market.
