NFL Football Lines
The two most popular ways
of expressing odds in American football are
point spreads and money lines. We have previously
discussed point spreads and in this article,
we will discuss football betting money lines,
how to read them, and use an NFL football game
as an example to illustrate a money line bet.
The easiest way to understand a money line,
is to think of it as an indication of the amount
you need to bet to win $100 (or 100 of whatever
currency you are betting in) or the amount you
will win if you bet $100. Money lines are expressed
with a negative number, say -110, or a positive
number, say +110. A negative money line number
indicates what you must wager to win $100, and
a positive money line number indicates what
you will win if you wager $100.
If you bet $110 on a team
with a money line of -110, and they win, you
will win $100 (plus return of your original
$110 bet).
If you bet $100 on a team
with a money line of +110, and they win, you
will win $110 (plus return of the original $100
bet). Unlike point spread bets, the teams do
not have to win by any particular number of
points.
Now, you do not have to bet an amount equal
to the money line number. You can bet more or
less and the payoff simply becomes a proportional
amount. For example, if you bet $11 on a money
line of -110, and your bet wins, you will win
$10. If you bet $50 on a money line of +110,
and win, you will win $55.
This should give you a
start in the right direction. We trust you will
find this reading enjoyable and informative.
GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON!!
