Why would you get a negative money line?

Favorites on the moneyline are almost always denoted with a minus sign (we'll explain the “almost” part later). So, for instance, let's say a moneyline favorite appears as -180 on the betting board. That minus sign indicates the amount of money one must wager to win $100. So a bettor looking to win $100 will risk $180.

What does money line +350 mean?
Moneyline odds
In the above example, the Kansas City Chiefs are a strong favorite against the Chicago Bears. The -350 odds mean a bettor would have to bet $350 to win $100. Conversely, a bettor on the Bears would make $245 in profit if they bet $100. If someone put $100 on the Chiefs, they would win $28.57 in profit.

Can you make money on a negative bet?
One of the most frequently asked questions about negative odds is, “Do you lose money on negative odds?” The answer is no. Your profit on those odds is just less than it would be compared to positive odds. Negative odds denote favored teams.

Can a money line push?
There's no winner or loser for the wager. For games that end up tied, such as an NFL regular season game that's not settled during overtime, the end result is the same. If you had bet on the moneyline for that game, your bet is a push but the spread will have a winner.
