In sports betting, understanding the “+” and “-” symbols is crucial. These symbols indicate the point spread and moneyline odds, helping you determine which team is favored and by how much.
- Point Spread: The “-” indicates the favorite, showing how many points they must win by to “cover the spread.” Conversely, the “+” denotes the underdog and the points they can lose by while still covering.
- Moneyline Odds: A “-” implies a bet on the favorite; you need to wager more to win $100. A “+” shows the underdog; a $100 bet wins you more money.
Understanding these symbols enhances your betting strategy and success.
