Is +115 good odds?
It depends on how likely the bet is to win, not on the number itself. +115 is a good price on a side that wins more than 46.51% of the time and a bad one on a side that wins less. If a market kept nothing, the other side of a +115 bet would be −115; real books price it worse than that, and the gap is their cut. At −110 on both sides, the most common spread and total price, the cut is 4.76%. Which book keeps the least differs: every sportsbook's cut, measured.
As a price, +115 makes the side close to even: at this price both sides of a game are often priced alike, and the gap from 50% is mostly the book's cut.
What a better price is worth
Find +120 instead of +115 on the same bet and the win rate you need drops from 46.51% to 45.45%.
