Money Lines Sports-Bets

Money Lines are the simplest form of sports bets. The team that the bettor wagers on just has to win the game. The bet is not subject to a point spread. The amount he may win is determined by the money line.

Money Line rules are as follows:

For example, the bettor wagered on Miami (-160) to beat Buffalo (+260). He must bet $160 to win $100 if Miami wins the game. His friend bets on Buffalo. His friend must bet $100 to win $260 if Buffalo wins. The following table displays the results of four different winning Money Line bets.
