In betting, a “-” symbol indicates the favorite in a matchup. Understanding this can help navigate odds effectively. Here’s a quick guide on what it means and how to use it:
- Favorite: A “-” before a number shows the favorite, e.g., “-150” means you must bet $150 to win $100.
- Spread: A “-” in point spreads shows how much the favorite must win by to cover the bet, like “-7” means the team must win by more than 7 points.
- Moneyline: The “-” signifies negative odds for the favored team compared to positive odds for the underdog.
Knowing these basics helps make informed betting choices.
