A moneyline bet is the simplest bet type — you pick who wins. No spreads, no totals, just the outright winner.
Positive odds (+150) indicate the underdog. A $100 bet returns $150 in profit.
Negative odds (-180) indicate the favorite. You must bet $180 to win $100 in profit.
Moneylines are ideal when you believe an underdog has a real chance to win outright, or when you want to avoid the risk of a favorite not covering the spread. They're the primary bet type in baseball and hockey.
Moneyline odds often vary 5-20 cents between bookmakers. On a +150 underdog, finding +160 at another book adds 10% to your potential payout. oddstatus highlights the best available line for every outcome.
