How to read the odds:


Spread: "[TeamAbbreviation] [PointSpread] ([Vigorish])"

Value Part Description
TeamAbbreviation Shortened Team Name/Identifier.
PointSpread The point spread that should be applied to that team's final score.
ex: A value of -5 would mean that team needs to win by more than 5 points.
ex: A value of +10 would mean that team needs to lose by less than 10 points.
Vigorish aka: Juice, Vig, Cut, Take.
The amount of money to risk/lay for a $100 bet.
ex: A value of -110 means a better would need to lay $110 to win $100.

MoneyLine: "[TeamAbbreviation] [MoneyLine]"

Value Part Description
TeamAbbreviation Shortened Team Name/Identifier.
MoneyLine The amount of money to risk/lay for a $100 bet.
ex: A value of -500 means a better would need to lay $500 to win $100.
ex: A value of +360 means a better would need to lay $100 to win $360.
note: Unlike a Point Spread bet, the team needs to win outright.

OverUnder: "[TotalPoints] [OverLine]/[UnderLine]"

Value Part Description
TotalPoints A value that represents the estimated combined final scores of both teams. The total points scored during the Event. This is the value the better is betting against, will the combined final score be over or under this value.
OverLine The amount of money to risk/lay for a $100 bet if the better believes the total points scored will be over/more than the TotalPoints value.
ex: A value of -110 means a better would need to lay $110 to win $100.
UnderLine The amount of money to risk/lay for a $100 bet if the better believes the total points scored will be under/less than the TotalPoints value.
ex: A value of -110 means a better would need to lay $110 to win $100.
