If you were to bet $10 on +5000 odds you would receive $500.00 in profit if this outcome won. Odds accompanied with a positive sign (+) indicate that this is the underdog and this outcome will have a lower chance of winning compared to a favorite, however underdogs will yield a higher profit if they win.
If the Bulls lose the game or win by fewer than seven points, they fail to cover the spread (meaning Clippers bettors cash their wager). What if Chicago wins by exactly seven points? It's called a push, and all bets are refunded (no winner, no loser).
