The
two most popular ways of expressing odds in
American football are point spreads and money lines.
Here you will find out how football betting
money lines work and how to read them. The
easiest way to understand a money line, is to
think of it as an indication of the amount you
need to bet to win $100 or the amount you will
win.
if you bet $100. Money lines are expressed
with a negative number, say -110, or a positive
number, say +110. A negative money line
number indicates what you must wager to win
$100, and a positive money line number indicates
what you will win if you wager $100.
If you bet $110 on a team with a money line
of -110, and they win, you will win $100 (plus return of your original $110 bet).
If you bet $100 on a team with a money line
of +110, and they win, you will win $110 (plus return of the original $100 bet). Unlike point spread bets, the teams do not
have to win by any particular number of points.
Now, you do not have to bet an amount
equal to the money line number. You can
bet more or less and the payoff simply becomes
a proportional amount. For example, if you bet
$11 on a money line of -110, and your bet wins,
you will win $10. If you bet $50 on a money
line of +110, and win, you will win $55. |
