+300 is an underdog price: the bookmaker gives this outcome an implied chance of 25.00%, and the payout of 300.00 on 100 reflects it. Underdogs in this band are where public money and bookmaker margin often disagree, so it pays to compare prices across books before taking one.
The vig at +300
If both sides of a two-way market were priced at +300, the implied probabilities would add up to -50.00% above 100%. That excess is the overround, or vig; as a share of stakes it is a -100.00% margin for the bookmaker. Removing it leaves fair odds of 2.00 decimal ( +100) on each side. Use the devig calculator to do the same for any market.
