A money line bet is a type of wager commonly used in sports betting where a bettor selects a team or player to win a game or match outright, without any point spread involved. The odds associated with the money line indicate the likelihood of each outcome, with positive odds representing the underdog (the amount you would win on a $100 bet) and negative odds representing the favorite (the amount you need to bet to win $100).

That's correct! Money line betting is straightforward and simple, making it a popular choice for many bettors. In addition to the basic concept you mentioned, money line bets provide a clear insight into the perceived strength of each team or player. The size of the odds can indicate how strong or weak a team is perceived to be compared to their opponent. Positive odds on an underdog can potentially yield a higher return on investment, while negative odds on a favorite would require a larger bet to see a decent win. It's important to consider the odds and do your own research before placing a money line bet to maximize your chances of success.
