The term
"moneyline" refers to a type of betting or gambling that focuses on predicting the winner of a particular event or game. It is a straightforward way to bet because you are only required to choose the winning side, rather than worrying about the point spread or other factors. The
moneyline represents the odds given to each team or player, indicating how much money you could win if you correctly predict the winner.
