Now you need to talk to someone that actually is a bettor as I have reached my level of incompetence:)

If Green Bay wins by 14 and you bet GB minus 10.
You would win. To win 100 you would have had to
bet 110. The 10 bucks is referred to as "juice"

On a money line bet, you are betting without regards to
giving or taking points. Tonight if you bet 100
on WASH straight up and they win, then you will win 340.

On the other hand, if you bet GB straight up, you
will have to bet 440 just to win 100.

Also, over/under relates to total points scored.
Tonight, the o/u is 41.5

If I bet over 41.5 and the final score is 28 to 14 , then
I win.
