hey everyone
im kindof new to single game betting and i have no idea what
Chicago plus 4 minus 20 means
I know the plus 4 means they are the underdog by 4 points, however i have no idea what the minus 20 means.

hope someone can clear this up for me
thanks

maco...its the Juice your paying on that side of the bet -120 its usually -110 but the book made it -120 so for every 10$ you want to win you have to lay 12$ at the +4 number

This also usually means you can get the other side (-4) for +100, or $10 to win to $10

good luck
