What exactly is an NFL betting line?

Answer 1

The betting line tells you the amount of money that you will get paid in a bet, it will most of the time be calculated using $100 as a reference. Is very simple:

It will be - or +. If you have -200, you will have to bet 200 hundred dollars to gain 100. Of course you will get back your initial bet of $200 plus the $100 earned. But you win only 100. If the betting line is +200 then you bet $100 and get paid $200. So in this case again you get your initial 100 plus the 200 than you earned.

100 is even. It mean that you bet 100 and earn 100.
