The numbers represent the amount of money needed and what you would collect if you were betting a particular side thats all.
How is another example. The Dodgers are -125 vs. the Rockies +118, I understand the example you gave above and that the Dodgers are the favorites, but where do they come up with 125 or 118? Why are the numbers different? Also, Does the difference between the numbers matter? For Example, if the line was at -125 to +123 Dodgers, would this mean a close game? |
