Moneyline Betting Explained

The moneyline is the simplest bet there is: pick who wins. This guide explains how money line odds are priced and when they offer value.

How the moneyline works

A moneyline bet is a straight wager on the winner, with no handicap. Favourites carry negative odds (-200 means stake 200 to win 100); underdogs carry positive odds (+180 means stake 100 to win 180).

In football, the moneyline usually includes the draw as a third option, unlike two-way US sports where it's just win/lose.
