Default isnt -1 and the ML the same thing? both win by 1???

Whats the difference between -1 and picking to win straight up? if you win straight its al least by 1 correct. Please help sorry for my ignorance.

If you play -1 and the final score is 3-2 then you don't win because you must subtract 1 from the 3 whereas if you play ML and the score is 3-2 you win.

Straight up
Final score is 1-0 YOU WIN

Bet -1
Final score is 1-0 YOU PUSH

Hope this example clears it up. Any other questions feel free to ask.
