Moneyline betting is a straightforward way to wager on sports. Instead of focusing on point spreads, you simply pick the winner. This type of bet is popular because it’s easy to understand. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Favorites: Indicated by a negative number (e.g., -150). You need to bet more to win less.
- Underdogs: Indicated by a positive number (e.g., +200). You can win more by betting less.
- Even Money: When both teams have equal odds, usually represented as +100 or -100.
Moneyline betting is ideal for beginners due to its simplicity.
