A '''dog''' is an abbreviation for [[underdog]]. Used to describe the side of a betting market that is perceived to have a lower chance of winning. The opposing side is referred to as the [[favorite]].
== Example ==
In the example below the market views the Atlanta Falcons as the weaker team. They are dubbed the ''dog'' having +380 odds to win the game outright on the moneyline. This carries an implied probability of 20.8%. Atlanta also carries a +10 [[point spread]] which will win if they either win the game outright or lose by 9 or less points. A loss of exactly 10 points would be a [[push]] and [[spread]] bets are refunded.
