If someone put $100 on the Chiefs, they would win $28.57 in profit. Conversely, a bettor on the Bears would make $245 in profit if they bet $100. The -350 odds mean a bettor would have to bet $350 to win $100. In the above example, the Kansas City Chiefs are a strong favorite against the Chicago Bears. Exactly how much of a favorite they are is where moneyline bets get interesting.
