We’ll quickly explain what +1000 and -1000 betting odds mean. +1000 odds are most commonly found with futures bets, indicating the side is an unlikely underdog to win a particular event. You might also see +1000 odds on a moneyline bet paired with a -1200 favorite. Occasionally, you’ll see +1000 or -1000 odds with prop bets, too, indicating that the -1000 side is a heavy favorite, or the +1000 side is a distant underdog.
-1000 odds will most frequently be seen with moneyline bets when a side is an overwhelming favorite to win a matchup.
