Money line bets

In soccer betting, wagers may be placed on a win for a particular side or on the event of a draw taking place. Money line bets are available in soccer betting and may be place on either team or on a tie – a draw.

For example, the bets may be viewed as

Manchester United -110 (a bet of $110 can earn a profit of $100)

Liverpool +110 (a bet of $100 can make a profit of $110)

Draw -230 (a bet of $230 can earn $100)
