Why the plus sign matters
For positive American odds, the number shows the profit on a $100 winning stake. At negative odds such as -110, the number instead shows how much must be risked to win $100.
Do not confuse price with spread
Team +3 (+110)
+3 = points received
+110 = attached price
The first plus number can be the spread, while the number in parentheses is the price. Read the complete quote before comparing offers.
Implied probability
+110 corresponds to an implied probability of about 47.6% before accounting for sportsbook margin. That conversion describes the price; it is not a prediction that the outcome will occur 47.6% of the time.
