Live Sports Betting Odds

The lines and totals for upcoming games are listed below.

Pointspread
The pointspread - also called "the line" - is used as a margin to handicap the favorite team. The oddsmaker - also called the handicapper - "gives" points (or goals) to the underdog - for betting purposes only. The bettor must take either the favorite or the underdog. The favorite is always indicated by a minus sign (e.g. -8.5) and the underdog by a plus sign (e.g.+8.5). For betting purposes, the outcome of the game is determined by taking the actual game score and finding the difference between the scores of the two teams playing (called the pointspread or just the "spread").

Spread
A spread in sports wagering is the predicted scoring differential between two opponents as quoted by a sportsbook. See "point spread."

Money line
Odds expressed in terms of money. With money odds, whenever there is a minus (-) you lay that amount to win a hundred dollars, where there is a plus (+) you get that amount for every hundred dollars wagered.

Total
The combined amount of runs, points or goals scored by both teams during the game, including the overtime.
