Reading College Basketball Moneyline Odds
A moneyline shows you two numbers — one positive, one negative. The negative number (say, -180) tells you how much you'd need to wager to return a $100 profit; the positive number (+155) tells you how much a $100 wager returns. College basketball moneylines shift from the open of the market through tipoff based on sharp action, injury news, and betting volume.
On livech, you see the current line in real time. Favorites in Power Five conference games tend to carry heavier juice than mid-major matchups, so shopping the number matters — even a five-point swing on the moneyline changes your return meaningfully over a full season of wagers.
