Can someone explain european lines to me.

My bookie is using a site where the baseball lines are european, i.e. tonight...

Atlanta -7.50
Washington 6.50

How do you convert this to - and + as far as -140 or +120 or whatever.

Thanks.

Dont know what they are to be honest....just never seen anything like that before.

Looks like you have to double it and multiply it by 10.

Just did a sample at -6.50, and it came back as -130. A 5.00 is even money. Don't know why they would do it like that.

this is messed up...your bookie is giving you some bad odds....Atl should be -7.25 and Wash 5.875

Don't really care....I dont bet baseball. I was just looking at the new software pay-per-service he is using. The other lines are fine...football and other sports. Baseball is the only one that is messed up.
