When odds are expressed as a moneyline, it means that the odds are presented in a specific format commonly used in the United States to indicate the potential payout for a winning bet. The moneyline odds display the amount of money you would need to wager or the amount you would win for a $100 bet.

In a moneyline format, you will typically see a positive or negative number associated with a specific outcome or team. Here's how it works:

Positive Moneyline (+): A positive moneyline indicates the potential profit you can make on a $100 bet. For example, if you see a moneyline of +150, it means that if you bet $100 on that outcome and win, you would receive $150 in profit, in addition to your original $100 bet. So, your total return would be $250 ($100 initial bet + $150 profit).

Moneyline odds' positive and negative numbers reflect how strong each team or player is in relation to the other. Positive odds point to an underdog, where a winning wager would result in a greater profit. A favorite is indicated by negative odds, where a higher bet is necessary to win a lesser payout.
