Differences Between Money Lines and Points Spreads

Straight bets, which are among the most popular wagering options, offer a 50% chance to win. The bettor only needs to choose between the moneyline, side, or over/under.

If you want to bet $100, then you will need to wager $300. This bet, plus the winnings, is $400.

When it comes to betting on the team that is not favored, you will see a line like +400. This means that to earn $400 you must bet $100. It’s a good indication that it may be difficult to win, since you have to bet less in order to get more.

If you bet on a point spread, the line will look like -5. This means your chosen team must win by a margin that is greater than the spread in order for the wager to pay off. If you place a bet of -5 on the Bulls and the score at the end is Chicago 100, Miami, you will win because you have taken 5 points off your team’s score.

If the score at the end of the game was 100-97 and you chose the Bulls as a -5 bet, then you have lost your wager even though you selected the winning team. This is because when you subtract 5 points from 100 you get 95 which is lower than Miami’s final score.

Money lines and point spreads are different because you can bet more on the favorites, but the chances of winning will be higher. Sides are usually -110, meaning that every $100 you stake, you’ll get another $100. This is a convenient option for bettors who place bets regularly 2up.

Ponder to replace McNabb as the starter

Leslie Frazier decided that giving Christian Ponder, a rookie quarterback, the starting position was the right choice for the Vikings. They are currently 1-5 and it is not the wisest decision to rely on the veteran Donovan McNabb. McNabb had been benched by the Redskins for most of last year in favour of Rex Grossman. The Vikings bought the veteran hoping that the change in franchises would increase McNabb’s potential.

Marshall and Moore: the perfect combination for Dolphins

Brandon Marshall was unable to complete a pass that would have been able to give the Dolphins a 6-point lead. Chad Henne is now out for the remainder of the year after undergoing shoulder surgery. Marshall looked good in his first Miami start of the year. He was paired with Matt Moore who will now be the QB for Florida. It seems that the Dolphins need to give Marshall a few more starts as the starter to determine if he and Moore will give the Dolphins some hope.
