Gambling question

[thore]

Got a question for all you gamblers. i noticed that Fedor is favored over Rogers this weekend. Fedor -500 Rogers +350. My question is (example) if i bet on Fedor at -500 does that mean that I have to put no less than 500$ on Fedor to play, or can i put say 400$ on him and still be able to play?

u can play less.
what those numbers represent are this: fedor is -500, which means u every 500 u risk u winn 100..so to win 100 on him u have to risk 500..get it, 1000 to win 200.
rogers is +350, every 100 u risk u win 350..so u risk 100 and it wins, u collect 350..get it, 200 for 700...
