When you guys see +200 what does that mean to you. 2/1 or 3/1? I know what the RIGHT answer is but I'm arguing with friends and they are not getting it. Trying to explain to them is tough.

+200 is the same as 2:1 odds.  If you bet $100 on a line that is +200 you would win $200 and retain your bet of $100.  In total you would have $300 after that bet, but the bet only won you $200.

Exactly I keep telling them they are not 'winning' their stake. But they still thought it was 3/1 cuz your 'winning' but not actually 'winning' 300 your winning 200. I think they might be getting it now they haven't texted me in awhile lol.
