How to read the odds:

Spread: "[TeamAbbreviation] [PointSpread] ([Vigorish])"

Value Part	Description
TeamAbbreviation	Shortened Team Name/Identifier.
PointSpread	The point spread that should be applied to that team's final score. ex: A value of -5 would mean that team needs to win by more than 5 points. ex: A value of +10 would mean that team needs to lose by less than 10 points.
Vigorish	aka: Juice, Vig, Cut, Take. The amount of money to risk/lay for a $100 bet. ex: A value of -110 means a better would need to lay $110 to win $100.

MoneyLine: "[TeamAbbreviation] [MoneyLine]"

Value Part	Description
TeamAbbreviation	Shortened Team Name/Identifier.
MoneyLine	The amount of money to risk/lay for a $100 bet. ex: A value of -500 means a better would need to lay $500 to win $100. ex: A value of +360 means a better would need to lay $100 to win $360. note: Unlike a Point Spread bet, the team needs to win outright.

OverUnder: "[TotalPoints] [OverLine]/[UnderLine]"

Value Part	Description
TotalPoints	A value that represents the estimated combined final scores of both teams. The total points scored during the Event. This is the value the better is betting against, will the combined final score be over or under this value.
OverLine	The amount of money to risk/lay for a $100 bet if the better believes the total points scored will be over/more than the TotalPoints value. ex: A value of -110 means a better would need to lay $110 to win $100.
UnderLine	The amount of money to risk/lay for a $100 bet if the better believes the total points scored will be under/less than the TotalPoints value. ex: A value of -110 means a better would need to lay $110 to win $100.
