In gambling, a “Moneyline” is a type of betting option where you bet on the outright winner of a game or event, without considering the point spread. It’s one of the simplest and most straightforward forms of betting.
Here’s how it works:
– **Favorites and Underdogs**:
In a Moneyline bet, one team or competitor is typically favored to win, while the other is the underdog. The odds reflect this, with the favorite having a negative number (indicating how much you need to bet to win $100) and the underdog having a positive number (indicating how much you win for every $100 bet).
– **Example**:
If a team is favored with a Moneyline of -150, you would need to bet $150 to win $100. Conversely, if an underdog has a Moneyline of +200, you would win $200 for every $100 bet.
– **No Point Spread**:
Unlike point spread betting, Moneyline bets do not require the favorite to win by a certain margin or the underdog to lose by a certain margin. You simply bet on who will win the game outright.
– **Popularity**:
Moneyline bets are popular in sports like boxing, MMA, and soccer, where point spreads are less common, and in situations where the point spread is not applicable, such as in tennis or golf.
Moneyline betting is favored by many bettors because of its simplicity and the fact that it doesn’t require predicting the margin of victory, just the winner.
