World Cup Soccer? How to interpret lines?

[Its Gravy]

I am new to soccer and have no clue on what the hell this means. I have a good friend from Trinidad and he is a soccer guru so with my gambling knowhow and his Soccer knowledge we hope to make some loot.

what does this mean?

Anything above 2.00, just subtract 1 and you have a line you can understand. IE. 5.20 means 4.2:1, or +420. 1.91 is the equivalent of -110. (You get paid 1.91 units for every 1 unit you risk if you win). 1.50 would be the same as -200. And something that is 1.10 is a very heavy favorite (-1000).

There's an odds calculator out there somewhere, I'll go see if I can find it.

No moneylines listed here, but this chart converts fractional to decimal odds.
