You're locked into the odds you had at the time you made the bet.
Looks like you have a decent shot!

You have the same odds as the time you bought your ticket.
Take a look and it should have the odds and the payoff on that ticket.
If you wanted to get another bet you would have the new odds at the moment that you buy the next ticket.
So might have 10 to 1 on the new ticket but 15 to 1 on the original bet.

If it was 20 to 1, then whatever you put down you times by 20.
If for some reason the Broncos make it to the Super Bowl you might want to "hedge" your bet depending on how much you put down for. For example:
$100 on Denver to win Super Bowl 2013. (20 to 1) = $2000
NYG represents NFC in Super Bowl. Money Line: NYG -110
Now this goes based upon your gut feeling, or- if u just want 2 win $, irregardless of whoever wins, u could always "middle" your bet by doing something like this:
$1000 on NYG to win Super Bowl 2013. (Risk $1100 to win $1000) (Money Line Bet)
So if Denver wins, you win $2000, you lose $1100 = net $900
So if NYG wins, you win $1000, you lose $100 = net $900
Either way, you end up winning $900. Guaranteed money.

Read the ticket. That's your bet.
Seriously? Why would you make a bet if you didn't know what you'd get paid when it hits?

I proposal every person who guess the playing cards received. Responses here seem to feel you guess the playing cards. Did you wager Steelers, or, not understand to bet the spread?? Books gained a ton off humans who notion Steelers might quilt the spread.
