Moneyline bets:

Moneyline bets: Not up for the stress that betting the point spread can bring? We don't blame you. There's nothing worse than taking a team like the Seahawks -8 and watching them win in stunning fashion…by six points. It'll make you wish you had taken the moneyline, which is a betting line that involves you simply picking a team and cheering for them to win. It doesn't matter if they win by two or 52; if you bet their moneyline, you win. The catch (there's always a catch!) is that you have to lay more money—a lot more money in most cases—in order to turn a decent profit on a moneyline. For example, the Seahawks' moneyline was -280 when they played the Packers, which meant that you would have needed to bet $280 to win $100. By comparison, you would have only needed to bet $110 to win $100 if you had taken the point spread. And if you had taken the Packers moneyline, which was +240, you would have won $240 off a $100 bet. But after the game, you also would have been kicking yourself for not taking the Packers +8 since they ended up losing the game but covering the line.
