    For every $8.25 you bet, you would win $1.

      Moneyline. Your just picking the straight up winner. That's why betting the Thunder ML tonight won't get you much in return because they are such heavy favorites.

          Yep lol

          That's why its not profitable to bet money lines over a long period of time unless you can get some good dog plays.

                            Do not worry, b/c soon you will be barreled-in. Then you will resort to moneyline parlaying a bunch of favs, and wondering how the -1800 road fav lost SU.
