You would probably lose it all because no one with any sense would offer those odds on a straight up bet.

They are not 7 to 1 odds, but if you can find those odds I would jump all over it. The odds on the bears winning straight up is about 3 to 1. So if you did throw the $200 you would get a return of $600.

So 1.5 times a win bet on Big Brown, a $3 payoff on a $2 win bet, is not a worthwhile payoff? Anything can happen in this race but I just don't see why 1-2 odds on Big Brown is not worth betting. I assure you I would sooner risk $1000 on Big Brown than on the stock market or the lottery. I'm ok with those odds. But regardless of what I decide to risk on Big Brown, I like the 8-1 odds on Gayego as well, an $18 payoff on a $2 win bet.

You would win $1,400.00 You multiply seven times every dollar
you have bet. So for example if you bet ten dollars, you would
win seven dollars on every one dollar you bet. 7x10=70. I've
never heard of football being bet this way, this must be a
private bet. Usually football is bet on based upon the "spread",
which the odds makers in Vegas establish. The bets are even
money ie bet a hundred, win a hundred. The spread in turn is
used by all bookies, and is printed in the papers sport section

You would win $1400. You multiply $200 by 7.

1400, but remember they are 7 POINT underdogs, meaning if you bet with the spread and the lose by less than 7 you still win. If you bet with spread you will win less money than if you bet straight up. The spread is usually -110 meaning you bet $110 you win $100 if they win (you leave with $210)

$1 gets you $7, so $200x7=$1400. (assuming the Bears win)!

1200 plus your 200 back= 1400

For every dollar you bet, you win seven dollars. If you bet $200 on the Bears and they win, then your net profit would be $1,400.00.
