Odds/Math Wizards..... A Little Help....

[taoist]

I used to know this formula, but can't remember it and don't want to look it up when there are so many fine folks here at Jack's Place to help out a fellow degenerate....


Had a 3-teamer, which was turned into a 2-teamer due to the PPD at Clev/KC.... What are my new odds if the other 2 games were +120 and -165 respectively? Thanks in advance, guys.



p.s. If you'll post the formula, I promise not to ask again.... I'll just look up this thread.

Damn!!! I don't know if it was throwing out KC as a big dog or just going from 3 to 2 teams, but that sure lowered the payout dramatically.... Bastids! LOL :shrug:

Money Line Parlays:
Money line parlays occur when the lines selected differ from -110. The formula is: Risk multiplied by factor 1, multiplied by factor2 (and so on according to the number of choices made) and then subtract the risk amount.

Here is the list of the factors for you to calculate: If one or more of the selections is an underdog simply add 1 to the line to get the line factor, i.e., +155 would be 2.55.

Line Factor Line Factor Line Factor Line Factor
101 1.990 129 1.775 157 1.636 185 1.540

Did someone call for a wizard?

I would have responded sooner, but I was nappin' on the couch.
