There’s a negative integer for the team considered more likely to win (the favorite) and a positive integer for the one considered more likely to lose (the underdog). The “money line,” in betting terminology, refers to the integers that show the payoffs for betting on a game.
The term “money line” represents the payouts for winning the bet, with a negative integer for the underdog and a positive one for the favorite. Money line bets are bets placed on a game’s conclusion.
