In a dime line, if a sportsbook offers -110 odds on the favorite, the underdog will have odds of +100. This narrow margin benefits the bettor as it lowers the sportsbook’s take, making it a more favorable option for the player. Dime lines are more common in sports like baseball and hockey, where margins can be tighter.
Dime Line Example
For example, if a sportsbook offers -110 on a favored team, you need to wager $110 to win $100, while betting $100 on the underdog would net you $100 if they win.
