What is the "Moneyline" in Sports Betting?

Updated: Apr 14, 2022

If you're a beginner in sports betting, the two things you want to understand are the odds and the terminology. One of the most important terms to learn is the moneyline.


Moneyline

  • A moneyline bet is a bet on a team to win a game, regardless of margin of victory.

  • Odds on moneyline bets differ, rather than being at -110 like a spread or total bet. If Team A is favored over Team B, betting on Team A moneyline the odds may be at -250 meaning a bettor will risk $25 to win $10.

  • When betting on moneyline there is less risk when betting a favorite because they don't need to cover the spread, they just have to win. But if they lose, a bettor will lose more money than they would on a spread bet.

  • On the flip side, betting on an underdog to win has a high reward. A moneyline bet on an underdog of +250 would win a bettor $25 on a $10 dollar bet. The risk of betting the moneyline on an underdog instead of spread is that they need to win the game, rather than cover the spread.

Geometry Dash Lite presents its tasks in a straightforward manner, devoid of any adornment or sympathy. The player has to make a quick choice as the music changes and the road gets increasingly limited. It is in this tiny space between action and result that character and reaction are found.
