dude moneyline is literally just picking the team that wins!!! no draws no ties no weird 1×2 nonsense. so like if juventus plays roma and you bet moneyline on juve, either they win and you win OR they lose and you lose. thats IT. none of this “oh what if they draw” because in american betting they dont give a damn about draws they just want a winner. the +150 thing is confusing at first but its actually easier than decimal odds once you get it positive numbers show how much you win on 100 units and negative shows how much you need to bet to win 100. so +150 means bet 100 win 150 profit while -200 means bet 200 to win 100. honestly your friend is right that moneylines can be better value sometimes especially when you KNOW a team will win but the draw odds in 1×2 are messing up the value. like when napoli plays some relegation team at home, the 1×2 might have napoli at 1.4 but moneyline could be better because theres no draw to worry about
