Can someone please explain Soccer betting lines...

Never done Soccer betting before..

Bookmaker has Brazil -1 at +145
They have the Moneyline at -160

If Brazil is -1, doesnt that mean they automatically win? Thus making that the same as the money line bet?
Confused.

ok....money line mean -.5 .........so -.5 big different than .-1...that is why +145 and -160 gl

[Jimmy0607]

-1 means that if they win by one goal is a push so they would have to win by 2 for you to win your bet

ML means that they just have to win

Little self explanatory isn't it? It's no different than a spread or baseball runline...

[WeinketoWarrick]

Not the same as baseball 'cause you can lose on the moneyline in soccer..baseball always has a winner

I think...

betting the spread is better because a draw you get your money back if there is not a spread. i.e. -.5 or +1
