If it loses = -$250 from your bankroll

NJ @ 1.40 = risk of $100 to win $40.00 using decimal odds
If it loses = -$100 from your bankroll

Granted your bankroll takes longer to grow, but your risk is always constant
lmao...thanks for finally explaining what 1.40 means in a game that is -250. i never knew what that was. what would you do if you had a team that was +200 and you were betting 100.00. how would that look? 3.00?
