Charlotte FC betting lines explained
Standard Charlotte FC game lines include moneylines, spreads and totals.
Charlotte FC moneyline bet
Moneyline | Home Win | Draw | Away Win |
---|---|---|---|
Atlanta United @ Charlotte FC | -125 | +275 | +175 |
As you can see, soccer moneyline betting is three-way betting, meaning there are three possible outcomes. That’s because MLS regular-season games might end in a draw. The three listed outcomes are Home Win, Away Win, or Draw. You pick one of the outcomes and bet on it at the currently posted odds. These odds are locked when you place your bet, even though they might change ahead of the game’s start.
You get paid at the odds as posted when you placed your bet if you pick the correct outcome. In this example from DraftKings North Carolina Sportsbook, you’ll win $100 plus your bet back for every $125 you bet on Charlotte FC as long as they win.
Charlotte FC point spread bet
Spread | Charlotte | Atlanta |
---|---|---|
Atlanta United @ Charlotte FC | -1.5 (-115) | +1.5 (-115) |
Charlotte FC spread betting works like spread betting in other sports. That means a line is set and must be factored into the final score to determine a winner. MLS games are low-scoring, which means MLS spreads are low. A standard 1.5-goal line is often set with close to even odds on both sides.
Here, you can bet on Charlotte at -1.5 (-115) at home against Atlanta. You’ll win if Charlotte wins by two or more and get paid $100, plus your original bet back, for every $115 bet. You’ll lose the bet if Charlotte loses, the game ends in a tie, or Charlotte wins by just one goal. Alternative spreads at different odds may also be available.
Charlotte FC totals bet
Totals | Over | Under |
---|---|---|
Atlanta United @ Charlotte FC | 2.5 (-110) | 2.5 (-110) |
Totals are bets on the final combined score in a game and whether it ends up over or under a specific line. These lines are generally small because MLS games are low-scoring. In this example from FanDuel Sportsbook NC, you can bet over or under 2.5 goals at -110 odds. You’ll earn $100 and your bet back for every $100 you bet on either side. The over wins if the teams combine to score three goals or more. The under wins if the teams combine to score two goals or fewer.

Brief Charlotte FC history
Charlotte FC is owned by David Tepper, the billionaire hedge fund manager who also owns the Carolina Panthers NFL team.
Tepper was awarded the expansion franchise in 2019, and Charlotte FC started playing in the 2022 MLS season. The team plays at Bank of America Stadium, where it set the MLS attendance record by drawing 74,479 to its inaugural home match in 2022.
Charlotte hired Miguel Ángel Ramírez as its first head coach, but he was fired 14 games into the season as Charlotte tied for eighth in the Eastern Conference and out of the playoff picture. Assistant coach Christian Lattanzio took over from there, and the team finished its inaugural season with a record of 3-18-3.
Lattanzio will continue as head coach in 2023. With 10 goals, Polish striker Karol Świderski was Charlotte FC’s leading scorer in 2022. However, the team acquired forward Enzo Copetti from Argentine Primera División side Racing Club in the offseason. They are hoping the winger can contribute a number of goals after scoring 19 in 40 games with Racing Club in 2022.
