A moneyline is a type of [[betting market]] where a wager is made on which team or player will win a given match outright. They are one of the most common sports bets placed along with [[spread]]s spreads and [[total]]stotals.

[[Decimal odds ]] format is commonly used in Canada and across Europe. A decimal number is used to indicate potential return. Multiplying the decimal odds by the amount risked will calculate the total return (risk and profit) if the wager were to win.

Two competing teams with equal decimal odds would normally be set at 1.91 due to the bookmaker's commission. A risk of $110 would yield a $210 return on either side for a net profit of $100. This can be verified by multiplying the risk by and odds together. The more a team is favored to win the smaller the decimal odds:will be. Odds of 1.50 would require a $200 risk to generate the same $100 profit.

== TwentyGrading Rules == Moneyline grading rules vary by sport and betting site. The industry standard is that overtime results are considered when grading moneylines for matches that are tied at the end of regulation. In the event of a draw at the end of overtime a moneyline bet will be graded as a push and the initial risk refunded. Below are common moneyline grading policies by sport which most sportsbooks follow. It is critical that a bettor is aware of their respective bookmaker's grading policies before placing a bet. === Baseball === If a baseball game is suspended before completion moneylines will be graded based on the winner at the time of the last complete inning. An exception to this is made in the case where the home team tied or took the lead in the bottom half of an on-Cent Lines going inning at the time the game was called. In this case moneylines will be graded against the score at suspension. === Basketball === NBA matches that are suspended early must have at least 43 minutes of elapsed game-time for moneyline wagers to have action. Basketball leagues that play four 10-minute quarters must have at least 35 minutes of elapsed time to have action. === Football === The winner of a professional or college football match will be determined by the final score as long as at least 55 minutes of official game-time has elapsed. If a match is postponed before 55 minutes have passed moneyline wagers will be graded no action and bets will be refunded.  === Hockey === At least 55 minutes of official game time must have passed for hockey moneylines to be graded. If the match is postponed before this time moneyline wagers will be graded no action. === Tennis ===
