Spread vs money line.
In the world of sports betting, a moneyline bet is simply betting on which team you expect to win.
How does a money line bet work
It doesn’t have anything to do with a margin of victory (sports betting point spread), how many points the teams combine to score (sports betting Over/Under) or anything else — it is purely betting on which team you expect to win the game.
You may also see a moneyline bet listed as “Moneyline” or “ML” in different spaces.
Moneylines are represented in negative, positive and EVEN (even money bet: bet $100, win $100) values.
Negative moneyline: -145, -220, or anything similar
When you see a minus (-) sign in front of a price, it shows you that team is the favorite to win the game.
That number also indicates how much money you need to bet/spend in order to win $100.
For example, a -220 moneyline means you need to bet $220 in order to win $100 provided the team you bet on actually does win.
Heavy favorites are known in sports betting as a “chalk” pick.
A heavy favorite usually has a number pushing +300 or more. Here, you’re wagering a lot on the favorite to win a little.
