What a Tennis Moneyline Actually Tells You
A moneyline number tells you two things at once: who the market likes and how much a winning wager returns. A minus figure — say, -180 — means you'd need to wager $180 to profit $100 on the favorite. A plus figure — say, +155 — means a $100 wager returns $155 in profit if the underdog pulls through. In tennis that
gap can shift fast: a player's surface record, recent injury news, or a head-to-head history on clay versus hard court can all move the line between the draw and match time. Watch the line movement, not just the opening number.
