Calculating Winnings\n\n Odds of 7/5 mean you'll win $7 for every $5 you wager on the A's. Conversely, the Rangers' odds of 5/8 mean you need to wager $8 to win $5 on Texas. Another way to look at it: If the first number is larger than the second, you're betting on the underdog for a higher potential payout.

A good medium is 3% per play. For example, if you're starting with a bankroll of $100, you should risk $3 on every bet. If you're starting with $1000, you should risk $30 on every bet. Your unit size would be $3 or $30, respectively.

DraftKings is legal in Massachusetts. The Boston-based business has offered Daily Fantasy Sports contests in the Bay State for several years, and it has now gained a license from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to launch legal online sports betting too.

The 2024 Massachusetts sports betting law legalized the activity, and bettors can now place wagers in person and online. Some online sportsbooks claim they can legally accept bets throughout the United States.
