    I don't gamble but enjoy seeing the prop bets they come up with.

    Are you guys actually betting these prop bets?

    Would someone explain how to translate these fraction odds?

    Example:

    If you bet Carolina, you have to wager $21 to win $10.

    If you bet Denver, you have to wager $4 to win $7

    If you bet on San Francisco, you apparently don't have to wager anything.

    You might also see odds that are based on $100 wager/payout

    For example, you might see Carokina at -190. Which means you have to wager $190 to win $100. And you might see Denver at +170. Which means you bet $100 to win $170.

    Don't bet on anyone. That's a lousy way to enjoy sports.

    Cool. I was trying to interpret those fractions the opposite way.

    I don't gamble anymore. Used to be addicted but not pro football. Horses, cards, machines, golf.

    Hell I don't even make friendly Super Bowl $5 bets. Quit means quit. But these prop bets are entertaining to ponder.
