Football Betting Lines - The two most popular ways of expressing odds in American football are Football point spreads and NFL Football money lines.

Football betting Money Lines

The money line is an excellent alternative for pro football bettors who simply want to
bet on who they think is going to win a game straight up, rather than hassle with the pointspread.

Instead of taking a three-and-a-half point favorite, a sports bettor would instead lay out
approximately one-dollar and sixty cents or so to win one dollar on the money line. Conversely, if the gambler wanted to take the underdog and strongly believed that the dog would bite hard with a straight up win he could lay out a one dollar bet to win one-dollar-and-forty or fifty cents, depending on where he bets and what line he receives.

Many professional betters, mock the money line or degrade its value, but others would argue that there is no value in a loser, and are unapologetic about playing the money line. The money line, in fact, is the only way to go for more than a select few pro football bettors.

The two most popular ways of expressing odds in American football are point spreads and money lines.

Here you will find out how football betting money lines work and how to read them. 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 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.
