What do NFL odds look like?
What do NFL odds look like?
Side: The side refers to the point spread. While the odds can fluctuate, most sides are -110, meaning you have to bet $110 to win $100.
Cowboys -7 -100
Giants +7 -110
In that example, the Cowboys are a 7-point favorite and must win by more than 7 to win the bet. If the game ends with a 7-point Cowboys win, the bet is a push and you get your money back.
Total: The total also generally has -110 odds on each side. The sportsbook sets a line, such as 48.5, and bettors decide whether the game will go over or under that total.
Moneyline: The moneyline removes the point spread. Bettors take a team to win straight up.
Cowboys -200
Bears +180
In this example, a bettor must lay $200 to win $100 on the Cowboys. A $100 bet on the Bears would win $180, but Chicago has to win straight up.

Are there extra bets for big games like the Super Bowl?
Sportsbooks will offer proposition bets, or “props,” on big games. Props are famously associated with Super Bowl betting.
For the Super Bowl there are prop bets on many different things, like which player will score the first touchdown and even the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach. A common prop bet is on yards for specific players, such as "Tom Brady over/under 305.5 passing yards."
What do MLB odds look like?
What do MLB odds look like?
The betting lines for baseball games are typically different than football or basketball. You’ll see point spreads for those sports, but the most common bet in baseball is the moneyline. You just need your team to win, but will find higher odds on better teams.
Dodgers -220
Padres +200
In this example, you’d have to bet $220 on the favored Dodgers to win $100. However, a $100 bet on the underdog Padres would win $200.
What are some other odds offered for baseball?
Like most other sports, you’ll find totals offered for baseball. You can bet the over or under on total runs scored by both teams.
Another common bet is on the run line. That does incorporate a point spread, which is typically 1.5 runs with the odds changing.
Dodgers -1.5 -130
Padres +1.5 +110
Using the example from the first section, the Dodgers’ odds come way down but now they have to win by 2 or more runs.
Can you bet World Series odds for MLB?
Can you bet World Series odds for MLB?
Sportsbooks will offer proposition bets, or “props,” on big games. Props are famously associated with Super Bowl betting.
Like all other sports, futures bets are quite popular in baseball. You can bet your favorite team to win the championship throughout the season, with odds changing as their fortunes rise or fall.
Another popular bet is win totals. Oddsmakers set a win total for each team, and you can bet on whether that team will go over or under that win total.
You can also bet on props like who will win MVP, or over/under on how many home runs or hits certain players will have in a season.
What do NBA odds looks like?
What do NBA odds looks like?
The football and basketball betting line look very similar. The most common odds you’ll see in the NBA are with the point spread.
Lakers -4
Lakers +4
In that example, the Lakers are the 4-point favorites, and have to win by 5 or more points to win the bet. If the Lakers win by exactly 4 points, it’s a “push” and the bet is refunded. These bets usually have -110 odds on each side, meaning bettors win $100 on a $110 wager.
What other NBA odds are offered?
What other NBA odds are offered?
The over/under, or “total,” and the moneyline are the two other common bets made on NBA games.
The total (combined points by both teams) is set by the sportsbook, and bettors can choose to bet over or under the total. Those bets normally have -110 odds.
Knicks +180
Lakers -200
The moneyline eliminates the point spread. Bettors just take a team to win straight up, and the odds change based on who is favored.
In this example, a $100 bet on the underdog Lakers would win $180 if New York won straight up. Bettors would have to lay $200 on the favored Celtics to win $100.

Are there other odds on NHL games?
Like most sports, the over/under for combined goals by both teams is a popular bet. The sportsbook sets the total, for example 6.5 goals, and bettors can take over or under that number.
There is also a “puck line” bet, which works like the point spread in football or basketball. It is normally a 1.5-goal spread with the odds changing.
Rangers -1.5 +130
Rangers +1.5 -150
In that example, the Rangers must win by two or more goals to win a bet, but a $100 bet would return $130. If the Rangers win or lose by exactly one goal, Rangers bettors would win $100 on a $150 bet.

What do college football odds look like?*
What do college football odds look like?*
During the college football season, there will be dozens of games on the board most Saturdays. Three types of odds are the most common:
Point spread: The point spread, also called the “side,” evens the playing field in a lopsided matchup.
Ohio State -35.5
New Mexico State +35.5
With this example, bettors backing the underdog New Mexico State need the Aggies to win or keep the losing margin to 35 points or less. Ohio State would need to win by 36 or more points Ohio State bettors to cash that wager.
Over/under: These bets, also called the “total,” are simple. The sportsbook sets a line on combined points by both teams, and bettors can take over or under that point total.
Moneyline: This bet removes the point spread, with corresponding odds for the favorite and underdog.
Ohio State -400
Penn State +350
In this example, Ohio State backers would need to lay $400 on the favorite Ohio State to win $100. A $100 bet on Penn State would return $350, but the Nittany Lions would have to win straight up.

UCLA +250

A $100 bet on UCLA would return $250 if the Bruins won straight up. Montana bettors would have to lay $280 to win $100, but Montana would only have to win the game and not cover a point spread.
