What is Moneyline Betting?

Complete guide to moneyline betting with AI predictions. Learn how moneyline odds work, when to bet favorites vs underdogs, and how our AI models identify value in moneyline markets.

Moneyline Betting is one of the most accessible bet types for new sports bettors. You don't need advanced math or deep statistical knowledge to get started. It's a great entry point into the world of sports wagering.

How Moneyline Betting works

Moneyline betting is the simplest form of sports wagering — you pick which team will win the game outright. Favorites are shown with negative odds (e.g., -150 means bet $150 to win $100), while underdogs have positive odds (e.g., +130 means bet $100 to win $130). There is no point spread involved.

Real example

Example

If the Chiefs are -200 and the Bills are +170, a $100 bet on the Chiefs wins $50 if KC wins outright, while a $100 bet on the Bills wins $170 if Buffalo wins outright.

How AI gives you an edge

Traditional moneyline betting analysis relies on gut feelings, media narratives, and surface-level stats. Our AI models process thousands of data points that human analysts miss, identifying value bets with mathematical precision.

AI Edge

Our AI models calculate true win probabilities and compare them to implied odds — when the gap is large enough, that's a +EV moneyline bet.

By combining machine learning with historical data across thousands of games, our models find edges in moneyline betting markets that would take human analysts hours to uncover. And you get access to all of it for 99 cents per sport.
