I can explain the wagering somewhat.

-240 means you have to wager 240 to win 100, 480 to win 200, etc.

if a team is +240, you have to wager 100 to win 240, 200 to win 480 etc.

Edge he just explained it.. Say Arizona is -200 then if you bet to win 100 bucks u have to bet 200... so if u bet 100 bucks u would win 50 i believe

Simple calculation...

Favorite -> Amnt Wagered / (Line / 100) = Winnings
Dog -> Amnt Wagered / (100 / Line) = Winnings

Btw, I would recommend playing Arizona on the run line rather than SU, since they are the away team.

Could you explain the logic behind your run line recommendation for me, AP?
