What the MLS Moneyline Actually Tells You
A moneyline number tells you exactly what you stand to collect or what you need to risk. A negative line — say -150 on the LA Galaxy — means you risk $150 to net $100 profit. A positive line — say +180 on a road underdog — means a $100 wager returns $180 profit if they hold on. MLS regularly throws up
those positive-line upsets: expansion sides, derby matches, and road teams with nothing to lose. Our Football Betting Markets Explained section walks through each scenario with real match examples so you know what you're reading before you tap confirm on the slip.
