   The money line, or side, is a bet on a particular team to win the game outright. Generally, the bigger the pointspread i the hgiher the odds. For instance, a team favored by seven points will probably be minus 300 on the money line, meaning you must bet 300 to win 100. The underdog would probably be plus 280, which means that you bet 100 to win 280. This is just an example as the lines could vary dramatically from what I just quoted. The betting side, which is also known as the pointspread, involves betting on a team to either cover the spread or beat the spread. For instance, if a team is favored by four points, that team must win by five or better for a winning bet. If the underdog either wins outright or loses by less than four, that would be the winninjg side. In this example, if the favored team wins by four, it is a push and all bets are returned.
