Money line with a spread

[RedeemerKing]

I know how the money line works and how the point spread works. My question is why is there both sometimes? Like tonight the Broncos were -3 but +110 on Wager7. I didnt check out other sites to see other lines. Would all sites incorporate this money line for the game or would it depend on the action that specific sportsbook received. When the situations do come up do they allow for a good hedge opportunity? So, why are there sometimes a money line and point spread and can the bettor take advantage of this in anyway?


Thanks

+110 isn't the money line, for starters. In this case, it's the amount you need to pay to secure Denver -3. It's fairly common to see uneven wager prices (ie not -110) with spreads of 2.5, 3 and 3.5 because of how many NFL games end in a difference of 3. Hope this helps.

Also if you have ever bet with a Bookie that was a human and not a website he always charges you "juice". When I was younger I used to bet and if you lost you owed 10% of what you bet (A loss on a 50$ bet means you owe 55$). So the way I see it is they make you risk 110 to 100 so the "juice" is just built in when you make the wager rather then when you lose.
