Why would you bet a negative money line?

Do u bet on negative value or positive?
The minus sign shows you which team is favored. When you bet on the favorite you get worse payout odds on your bet since they’re more likely to win. The team with a negative number (like -110) is the favorite. The number next to the minus sign is the amount you must bet to win $100 in profit.
How do you read the money line?
