Straight Wager Money Line
Money Line wagers are the simplest form of sports bet. In a pure Money Line, all you need to do is pick the winner, but the odds vary depending on who is favoured.
- Example: If the line is Team A -200, Team B +180, you risk $200 to win $100 on Team A, or $100 to win $180 on Team B.

- Money Lines are indicated by a plus sign (+) or a minus sign (-).
- Money Lines posted with a minus sign (-) require a wager equal to the amount shown to win $100.
- Money Lines posted with a plus sign (+) require a $100 wager to win the amount shown.
- The team wagered on must win the game.
- Tie games are considered No Action, causing the original wager to be returned to your account.
- You cannot place a Money Line bet on both teams.
- You cannot place a Money Line bet and a Point Spread bet on the same team.
- All wagers are final.
- Note: The Money Line may change between the time a sports bettor places the wager and the event's start time. Payout of the wager is subject to the Money Line that is active at the time the wager is placed.
- Example: Buffalo is +260 to beat Miami -160. You wager $160 on Miami. If Miami wins you win $260 (the Money Line payout plus your initial wager).
The following table shows two outcomes on the same game, one with Miami winning and the other with Buffalo winning.
| Winning Team | Money Line | Your Wager | Payout (including wager amount) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami | -160 | $160 | $260 |
| Buffalo | +260 | $100 | $360 |
