Don't forget one other point-you also get your original bet back. Your +117
would pay $117 PLUS your original bet for total of $217. Your -$117 bet
would mean your $117 bet would bring your $100 PLUS the original $117 for
again the $217 total. From a casino a portion of the winning portion would
be kept by the house ( not sure-think about 5%).
