Types of Bet: Moneyline

When a bettor bets on the moneyline, he or she is betting on the result of a game. They are betting on who will win a game, irrespective of the spread.

Green Bay Packers +130
New York Giants -145

In the above example, the minus (-) sign in front of the price means that the New York Giants are the favorites. The -145 means that the bettor will win $100 for every $145 bet. If the Giants win the game, a bettor with a $10 bet gets a return of $16.90 – the original $10 stake, and $6.90 profit.
