Reading and interpreting sports betting lines can be a bit complex at first, but with some guidance, you can understand how they work. Sports betting lines provide information about the odds and potential payouts for different bets. Let's break down the components and explain how to read and interpret them:

Sportsbook Selection: The first step is to choose a sportsbook or a bookmaker where you'll place your bets. Different sportsbooks may offer slightly different odds, so it's a good idea to compare them to find the most favorable lines.

Event and Participants: The sports betting line will specify the event or game being wagered upon, along with the participating teams or individuals. For example, in football, it might indicate the teams and the date of the game.

Point Spread: In many team sports, such as football or basketball, you'll encounter a point spread. The point spread indicates the margin by which a favored team is expected to win or the underdog team is expected to lose. The favored team will have a negative number, indicating the points they need to subtract from their final score, while the underdog team will have a positive number, indicating the points added to their final score. The point spread levels the playing field and creates more balanced betting odds.

In spite of the point spread, the moneyline shows the chances for a team to win the game hands-down. It is represented by a number, either positive or negative, where the positive number represents the underdog and the negative number the favorite.

Yes indeed it is always in the favour of the favourite and the underdog is always the player that has mostly positive rating assigned to it there for we should always make proper calculations before choosing such options to be included in our gambling activities indeed

i think before placing any bets, especially when it comes to underdogs. Often, these players or teams are underestimated and have the potential to yield higher payouts if they win. However, it's important to approach betting with caution and never bet more than you can afford to lose.

i think Identifying undervalued players requires research and analysis of various factors such as player statistics, team performance, injuries, weather conditions, and other relevant factors. Once you have identified undervalued players, you can place a bet on them, which has a higher expected value than the odds provided by bookmakers.
