When betting the money line NO score adjustments are made. Also, money line bets are based on $100. The underdog and favorite can and usually do have different money lines. For example, the favorite's money line will often be a negative number. A negative number signifies the amount one needs to bet (often more than $100) in order to win $100. However, the underdog's money line will often be a positive number and signifies how much the better would win given a $100 bet (often more than $100). Notice the difference! Here are a few examples illustrating money line bets.

The Over/Under is a simple way to bet on the combined score of a game. The combined score is simply the final score of both teams added together. So prior to the game there is an Over/Under line, let's say it is set for 52.50 and you bet the Over. If the final score of the game adds up to more than 52.50 then the bet is a winner and you would receive the betted amount. In our case, $100. However, if the final score of the game is less than 52.50 then one would lose the bet and $100. On the other hand, let's assume you bet the Under at 52.50. Now if the score is above 52.50 you would lose your bet and $100. However, if the final scores add to less than 52.50 then you would win the bet and $100. Let's look at a few examples just to be sure.
