Understanding NHL Calder odds

Most sportsbooks will display odds in the American format as listed above. When the regular season is nearly finished and a consensus has emerged, you might see a player with a minus sign (-) ahead of his odds, like this:

• Porter Martone -600

The (-) means that Martone is the odds-on favorite, and a bettor would need to wager $600 to win $100. Other contenders in the Calder race might have plus (+) odds to win.

• Gavin McKenna +350

Here, a bettor stood to profit $350 for every $100 wagered. 

If American odds aren't your thing, simply use a tool like our odds converter to switch the odds to decimal or fractional format. Most online sportsbooks also give you the option to change the odds format that you see.
