Moneyline
📖 GlossaryDefinition
A moneyline bet is the simplest bet in sports: pick the winner. No point spread, no conditions — just who wins the game.
Lakers -150 → Bet $150 to win $100 (favorite)
Celtics +130 → Bet $100 to win $130 (underdog)
When to Bet Moneylines
- •When you think a team will win but aren't confident about the margin
- •When the moneyline offers better value than the spread
- •For lower-scoring sports (hockey, soccer) where margins are thin
