What NFL Moneyline Odds Actually Mean
A moneyline is just a number with a plus or minus sign. The minus side tells you how much you need to risk to win $100 — so -150 means risk $150 to profit $100. The plus side flips it: +130 means a $100 bet returns $130 in profit. The gap between those two numbers is the sportsbook margin, sometimes called the
vig. Our Sportsbook Live Betting Rules page shows both sides of every NFL moneyline in real time. Favorites carry the minus; underdogs carry the plus. Short favorites like -115 versus -105 underdogs represent tight games where the line barely moved off a pick'em.
