How to read NBA Odds—Lines, Spread and Totals
If you check out the free NBA odds comparison page or at a specific
sports book and have any questions about what you are looking
at then this is the perfect article for you. In this article,
we’ll explain each part of an odds listing for professional
basketball. Once you know what each number relates to in NBA odds
and how the lines are set up, you’ll find that you’ll
be able to understand the odds on each and every game that’s
posted.
We’ll cover the rotation number, point spread, moneyline
and over/under. Be aware that these elements go by other names.
The rotation number may be called the rotation mark or number,
the point spread is the spread or is often referred to as the
line. In fact, sometimes odds themselves are generally called
the line. When it comes to the over/under a common term you’ll
find is the total.
Whatever sportsbook you go to all NBA odds are listed in a fairly
similar manner. However there will be minor variations in how
teams are posted. Many books will give you the odds on a game
with one team on top of another, while others may list one team
on the left and the other on the right. Whatever the case may
be the first team listed is always the visitor and the second
is the home club.
The first thing you’ll see will be the date and time of
the game. This is on the far left of the odds listing. Just to
the right are the names of the teams that are playing. In between
the date and time and the team names is the don best rotation
number.
The numbers run sequentially. If the Boston Celtics are playing
the Miami Heat in Miami, and the Celtics, who are listed first
as the visitor, are number 101, then the Heat will be 102. In
the next game that’s listed on the odds sheet, the teams
will be 103 and 104 respectively. The sequence of games continues
for that day with each team in a game being given a rotation number.
These numbers are universal. That means that every sportsbook
will list the Celtics and Heat with the same rotation numbers.
This makes it easy to identify what team a bettor is going to
wager on, especially when placing your bet at a land-based book
or over the phone. It serves as a type of shorthand for bettors
and bookies alike as you refer to the number and not the team
name when making your wager.
Thus, the first parts of the line read from left to right in
the following manner—date and time of game, rotation numbers
and the teams. These establish the game on which you are going
to bet. Everything to the right of the team names is related to
the actual odds on the game. To the right of the game, in this
order, you’ll find the point spread, moneyline and over/under.

The point spread is designed to, in essence, make it tougher
for bettors to make the right choice on a game and to even out
the odds. In a big mismatch between a top team and bottom team
chances are 4 of 5 times most of us can pick the outright winner.
With the spread, a team either has to win by a certain number
of points to payoff or it can lose by a certain number of points
and still pay the bettor.
Spreads work in the following manner—the favorite team
is listed with a negative number and the underdog has a positive
number. The Boston and Miami matchup may be listed with the Celtics
at +2.5 and the Heat at -2.5. Simply put Boston is a small dog
and Miami is a small favorite. If you wager on Boston, you’ll
make money if they win outright or lose by two or less. Bet on
Miami and you’ll make cash if they win by three points or
more.
More times than not a spread will be listed as a fraction or
decimal. This is to prevent a tie in the spread, which would result
in a push where all bets are off and all money is returned to
the bettors. In our example if the spread has Miami at -2.0 and
the final score was Miami 102 and Boston 100, the result would
be a push.
The stake, the amount of cash you have to bet when the spread
is in effect, is usually the same for both clubs and looks like
this: -110. This tells you how much you have to bet to win $100.
With the spread, you usually have to wager $110 to win $100. This
can be translated into other wagers. If you bet $11, you’d
win $10 or $220 to win $200.
Although many people contend the spread bet pays even money,
it does not. If it did, your $110 wager would payout an equal
amount, but instead if pays $10 less (10%). That means a spread
bet is not an even odds wager, which would be shown as 1:1. It
has less than even odds and is actually 0.90:1.00. Where does
that 10% go? It is taken by the sportsbook in the form of a commission,
which is known as vigorish or vig.
To the right of the spread you may see the moneyline (some sites
list moneylines separately from the point spread). With the line,
the team that wins the game outright pays off. Instead of using
a spread, the bookmaker charges more to bet on the favorite and
pays out less and less to wager on the dog while paying out more.
Using the Boston and Miami game, the moneyline would have the
underdog Celtics at +120 and the Heat at -140. This line directly
corresponds to the 2.5 point spread. With the moneyline, if a
team is listed on the plus side that tells you how much you will
win on a $100 wager. When a club is posted in the negative that
tells you how much you have to bet to win $100. With Boston at
+120, you would bet $100 to win $120 and with Miami at -140, you
must wager $140 to win $100.
The moneyline and point spread have a direct correlation to one
another. Below a chart lists the point spread and moneyline equivalents
from 2.0 up to 10.5.
The final number you’ll see in a NBA odds listing is the
over/under or total for that game. Again, to prevent a push, this
number will usually be expressed as a fraction or decimal and
not as a whole number. The over/under is a projection of the total
number of points that will be scored in the game by both teams.
The sports bettor is wagering on the point total for that game
as either being over or under the number on the odds listing.

In the Celtics/Heat game, the total could be listed around 186.5.
If the total is 187 or better, then the over wins, if it is 186
or lower, that mean the under is the winner. Bookmakers create
the number based on various criteria related to recent matchups
between the teams, the points for and points against each team
has averaged and other factors. Like the spread, this is a number
that is not merely made up; it’s based on past performance
and projected outcomes.
When you look at odds, the date and time, the rotation number
and the team names establish the game on which you’re going
to bet and the point spread, moneyline and over/under are the
three basic bets related to that game. These are the basics of
any NBA odds listing that you need to know and understand before
you place a wager.

While winning money on NBA wagering is supremely difficult, understanding the odds are really a cinch. Spending a little time with the concepts will have you up to speed before you know it. There are simply a few different numerical representations you need to know. They neither require good math or an advanced understanding of betting.
The Point-Spread: A good starting point is the point-spread, an element that rules all standard NBA betting. A point-spread is a number given to both teams in a game. One team is a favorite by that number of points, while the other team is an underdog by that same number of points. Look at an example:
Golden State Warriors +5 vs. Portland Trail Blazers -5
You see Golden State is playing Portland, with the Warriors at +5 and the Trail Blazers at -5. In other words, the Trail Blazers are 5-point favorites, with the Warriors being 5-point underdogs. If you bet on the Blazers at -5, they must win the game by at least 6 for the bet to be a winner. If you bet on Golden State at +5, a winning bet on them would result from them either winning the game outright or if they lose by a number under 5. If Portland won by exactly 5, the bet would be a “push” and all bettors would receive their bet amount back.
In point-spread NBA betting, both sides of a bet pay the same. But not all teams that face each other are the same in terms of quality. The point-spread is brought in to bridge that gap. If, for example, the best team in the NBA was facing one of the worst, the decision on who will win is a no-brainer. But if the better team is -13.5 and the opponent is +13.5, now there is something to think about. The favorite can’t just win the game, but must do so by 14 points and the underdog can lose by 13 and a bet on them would still win.
Just remember that a minus-sign indicates a favorite and the number you see next to the minus-sign is how many points that team is favored by. A plus-sign indicates an underdog and the number is by how many points. One way to look at it is that you either add or subtract points from the final score. Let’s say the Los Angeles Lakers are -6 against the Sacramento Kings who are +6 and the final score is Los Angeles Lakers 93, Sacramento Kings 90. If you took the Lakers at -6, you would subtract 6 from their score, which would make it 90 for the Kings and 87 for the Lakers--a loss. If you picked Sacramento, you would add 6 to their score and they would win 96-93.

The Money Line The money line is a form of expressing odds that is widely used in all forms of sports wagering, including NBA betting. One form of NBA wagering is money line betting, where you simply pick the winner of a game, without the concerns of margins that you have in point-spread betting. With the point-spread removed from the equation, something else is needed to account for the varying quality on teams--odds. That’s what a money line is. Here is an example:
Orlando Magic +400 vs. Miami Heat -600
This is a somewhat-extreme example, where the favorite is a robust -600. Another way to look at it is that Miami is a 6-to-1 favorite. When you see -600 or minus-any-number, that is how much you must bet in order to win $100. To win $100 on Miami, you must wager $600. Orlando at +400 means you win $400 for every $100 you bet. When dealing with money lines, everything is organized around the mythical $100 bet just to make it a round number that is easy to work with.
We know a plus-sign denotes an underdog and a minus-sign indicates a favorite from what we know about point-spreads. A good way to remember it is that a plus-sign is how much you WIN if you bet $100, while a minus-sign is what you BET to win $100.
We should keep in mind that the money line is also used in point-spread bets. whenever we bet against the spread, it’s not a equal tradeoff where we win $100 for every $100 we bet. The general money line on such bets is -110, meaning we must bet $110 for every $100 we hope to win. If we look, we can usually find a better betting line, like a -105 line, where we only have to bet $105 for every $100 we hope to win. But the point is that the money line is an integral part of betting and needs to be understood. Thankfully, it’s just a matter of embedding it in your conscience. Then trust us, it never goes away.
