Betting the money line is a straightforward way to wager on sports, focusing on which team or player will win outright, rather than point spreads. Each team is assigned odds, indicating their likelihood of winning; favorites have negative odds, while underdogs have positive odds. For example, a -150 favorite means you must bet $150 to win $100, while a +200 underdog means a $100 bet could win you $200. This simplicity makes money line betting accessible for beginners, allowing fans to engage with their favorite sports without the complexities of point spreads or totals.
