I've had a colossal Biden moment where I have forgotten how to turn money lines into winning %

Is there a chart someone can post or rattle my brain with how to do it.

For example +170 + what % chance to win.

I need to figure out my share of the loot from Hunter.

A no-vig line of +170 would imply the underdog has a 37% chance to win. A sportsbook offering +170 would most likely mean the team has a lower chance than that.

Yep in this case they think it is about 13 percent chance or so.

Just add 100 to whatever the moneyline is and divide the total by the original moneyline to get the percentage for the favorite. The dog will be whatever the percentage opposite is to equal 100%. If a team is -375, then divide 375/475 which equals 78.9%. The dog has a 21.1%. If a team is -108 then 108/208 = 51.9% while the +108 side is 48.1%.

Sharp Sports Betting, by Stanford Wong, has the chart in his book.

So that puts him right about 35% chance of winning under current odds with no vig.
