You are not limited to betting exactly $100 it's simply a reference point. Our betting calculator handles all these calculations for you, making it easy to understand. In this case, your total payout would be $900, as your $100 risk amount is also returned. Remember, American odds do not include the return of your original bet amount. For instance, if you see +800 for the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, it means a successful $100 bet would yield an $800 profit. When the odds start with a plus sign, it indicates the potential profit from a $100 bet if you win. American odds come in two forms: those starting with a plus (+) sign and those with a minus (-) sign.
