Implied Odds Explained

Implied odds convert the probability of an outcome projected by Mike Clay into a moneyline. Look for implied odds that are higher than the moneyline offered. For example, if the implied odds are -150 and the moneyline is -110, Clay's projection system indicates an advantage for the bettor.
