A way for them to look up what it is you are wanting to bet on. The second set of numbers is the moneyline value he is getting. When you dont see an indicator that the team is getting or giving extra points it means it's a money line bet and it just means they need to win outright. These numbers when negative are how much you need to out up to get $100 back. So for example game 2 you need to risk 1200 to get 100 winnings on top. If the number is positive it means how much you would get based on a 100 bet Wait, so you need to RISK $1200 for the possibility of winning $100? Is that right? Why would anyone do that? Thats right. It shows you that this is such a heavy favorite that it doesn't make sense for the bookies to give you any good value on it. It shows you its seen as a lock, and why a straight/ moneyline bet is usually saved for a parlay bet. When it's that big of a favorite and you want to bet them but have a better risk/reward you would take the spread. In this case it would be something like -14 but the value would be closer to even money. Meaning that you would have to win by more than 14 points but you would get even value on your bet --- Fastbreak Intensifies PSN TehScurr Switch friend code SW-5264-0547-1806 <cite>ScareChan posted [p:928980257] in Sir Chris ...
