Futures Betting Odds\n\n For example, if the odds for a particular team to win a championship are +500, this means that a bettor would receive a payout of $500 for every $100 they wagered if that team goes on to win the championship.

So, a team with odds of +120 would payout $120 for every $100 wager. A team with +250 odds would pay $250 for every $100 wager (or $500 for every $200 wager, or $750 for every $300 wager).

Visiting Sporting\n\n The English-language press often refers to Sporting Clube de Portugal as 'Sporting Lisbon', much to the chagrin of its fans. The 50,000-capacity Estdio Jos Alvalade is only 2kms from Benfica's ground, but the Metro stop you need is Campo Grande (not Alvalade) on the Linea Verde (Green Line).

Sporting was the club bankrolled by the Viscount of Alvalade and coaxed Benfica players across the capital by promising better facilities. Benfica prides itself as the people's club  something encapsulated perfectly by fans helping to build Estadio da Luz in the 1950s.
