What is a Moneyline Bet?

Definition: A moneyline is a bet on which side or player wins the event, with no handicap or point spread.

How moneyline odds are shown: in North America, in American format.

-150 (favourite) - stake 150 to win 100.
+130 (underdog) - stake 100 to win 130.

2-way and 3-way moneylines:

2-way - two outcomes, used in sports where overtime decides the winner, such as basketball.
3-way - home, draw, away, which is the same as the match result (1X2) market in football.

For operators: moneyline is one of the main markets in North American sports, so it appears first on event pages for those markets.
