That means that you don't win or lose, your original bet is refunded. The difference between a pointspread bet and a moneyline bet is that there are no points involved. Instead, money odds are wagered on the favorite or underdog. By offering different odds for each team the sportsbook is able to balance action on both teams. While the goal of this page is to give you an understanding of the basics in sports wagering - you should be sure to read through the rules pages posted on any Internet Sportsbook you may join.
Rules do vary and the variance can be the difference between a winning season and a loosing season.
