Money line bets are based on $100. -'s mean favorites, +'s mean underdogs.

For example

Say the Bears are +200 against the Lions, or something. That means a $100 bet wins $200 on top.

Now say the Lions are -200 (the + and - are almost never the same but doing this for simplicity's sake) against the Bears, or something. That means I have to bet $200 just to win $100 on top.

You don't have to bet $100. It will scale, mathematically!

The more you know!
