I saw this on the "odds" page here at ESB but what do the numbers mean? Floyd Mayweather Jr. This content is protected Rick Hatton+185 Does that mean that if I bet a dollar on Hatton and he wins, I win 185?
Correct. Floyd, the favorite and safest bet, gives you a 44% return on investment...whereas Ricky, the underdog, and riskier bet, will give you a 185% return on investment.
-225 means if you bet $225 on Mayweather you win $100. Unless he wins by KO in which case you win $150. If he wins via SD you don't get anything but you get $500 if he KOs Hatton with a body shot. If Hatton KOs Mayweather in the first 2 rounds you are required to give the bookmaker another $100.
