Question

Hey yall,&#xD;&#xA;earlier today I placed a 130$ bet on Miami (moneyline), the price bet was 1.59. This amounts to 206$. However, as I&#x27;m used to from bet365, the payout amount does not usually include the actuall wager. In other words, the very same bet on 365 (or any other sane bookie)  would return 336 (206 &#x2B; 139). The bet I placed was on sports interaction and the payout is overall 206$! what the hell?! what about my wager money! &#xD;&#xA;what is going on? &#xD;&#xA;I would appreciate your help in sorting this out. &#xD;&#xA;Michael.

Edit: 336 = 206 (win) &#x2B; 130 (wager)

The $206 was including your $130 wager.  At -159, you wager $130 to win $67.  You&#x27;re thinking if it was &#x2B;159, which it wasn&#x27;t because Fins were -3 faves.

It kinda makes sense,&#xD;&#xA;what about a two team parlay that pays 3.05 (1.91 x 1.60), with a 100$ wager. Shouldn&#x27;t the win be 305$, not including the wager? (overall return should be 405)&#xD;&#xA;Also, if 1.59 = -159, than... if you go higher to 1.80 than... what is it, -180? I don&#x27;t understand :(&#xD;&#xA;ps. Miami money line was -3 favorite?
