How Money Line Bets Work

Money line bets are a common type of wager in sports betting. They involve predicting which team will win a game, with the odds represented as a positive or negative number.

Understanding Money Line Odds

Money line odds can be positive or negative:

• Positive odds (+150): This means you win $150 for every $100 you bet. For example, a $100 bet with +150 odds would win $150, plus your original $100 bet, totaling $250.
• Negative odds (-200): This means you need to bet $200 to win $100. For example, a $100 bet with -200 odds would require you to risk $200 to win $100, plus your original $100 bet, totaling $200.

Calculating Potential Winnings

The potential winnings from a money line bet can be calculated using the following formula:

This formula accounts for the different ways positive and negative odds are structured. The calculator uses this formula to provide accurate results.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works in practice.

Example 1: Positive Odds (+150)

Suppose you want to bet $100 on a team with +150 odds.

1. Enter $100 as the bet amount.
2. Enter 150 as the money line odds.
3. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show that your potential winnings are $150. This means you would win $150 plus your original $100 bet, totaling $250.

Example 2: Negative Odds (-200)

Now, suppose you want to bet $100 on a team with -200 odds.

1. Enter $100 as the bet amount.
2. Enter -200 as the money line odds.
3. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show that your potential winnings are $50. This means you would win $50 plus your original $100 bet, totaling $150. However, you would need to risk $200 to achieve this result.
