The favorite is always listed with a minus (-) sign before the point-spread while the underdog is labeled with a plus (+) label.
Ex. Favorite -10, Underdog +10
On the VegasInsider.com Global NFL Odds page, there is another number associated with the favorite and its normally listed as -10. This number is simply defined as “vig” or what many in the sports betting industry call vigorish. Another common term is called “juice” and it’s technically the price the bettor has to pay on a straight wager.
Ex. Bet $110 to win $100 (10% juice)
Ex. Bet $100 to win $91.91 (10% juice)
The Global bookmakers tend to offer adjusted numbers associated with each NFL point-spread and this can often be called as 'reduced juice' odds. Examples seen on the Global Odds pages could include -08, -12, -15 and -20.
Ex. Bet $108 to win $100 (8% juice)
