Money lines are the primary bet type for relatively low scoring team sports like baseball and hockey, and for head-to-head individual sports like MMA and tennis. A plus sign (+) indicates how much a bettor will profit on a wager of $100. A minus sign (-) indicates how much bettors must wager to win a profit of $100. Money line bets are all about predicting which team will win the game straight up (no point spread involved). The "-230" and "+200" on the far right make up the MONEY LINE for the game. This means a point spread bettor must risk $110 for every $100 they wish to profit. Like most other sportsbooks, our point spread bets have a "juice" or "vig" of -110 unless otherwise noted. This is called a "push" and anyone who bet Seahawks -5 or Eagles +5 would neither win nor lose and instead get their bet refunded. If the Seahawks win the game by exactly 5 points the result of the point spread addition or subtraction is a tie. In order for Eagles point spread bettors to win their bets, the Eagles just need to lose by less than 5, or win the game. Conversely, Eagles bettors are getting 5 points. So in order to win their bet Seahawks point spread bettors need their team to win the game by more than 5 points. The Seahawks are giving up 5 points in our example. Point spreads are the primary bet type for higher scoring head-to-head sports like football and basketball. When the point spread is 0, it is often shown as "PK" since bettors must simply "pick" the winner of the game regardless of margin of victory. Betting on the point spread means betting on whether the favorite will defeat the "underdog" by more than the point spread. It's the number of points that will be subtracted from the favorite's score in order to determine point spread bet winners and losers. The "-5" seen above is the POINT SPREAD and it represents a proposed margin of victory by the "favorite" (the team expected to win). Bet on whether the favored team will win by more than this proposed margin of victory.
