Football spread betting
Betting on the Point spread is most common in NFL football
sports betting. Spreads are intended to
level the betting playing field between two teams. If
the handicappers do their job right and choose
the right spread number, there should be an even chance
of winning or losing the bet taking into
account the spread. Learn more about Spread betting

The Basics of
Point Spreads
The two most popular ways of expressing odds in American
football are point spreads and money lines.
When you look at a point spread, you will see one team
with a negative number and one team with
a positive number. Remember, for sports betting purposes,
points are subtracted from the favorite
team's final score to determine if the favorite is a
winner. That is why the the favorite team is
always listed with a negative number.
As you might expect, the reverse is true for the underdog.
The underdog team is given a positive
number because points are added to the underdog team's
final score to determine if the underdog
is a winner for purposes of the sports bet. Events that
tie are considered "no action" - no one
wins or loses. Let's look at an example.
The New England Patriots are playing the New York Jets.
The Patriots are expected to win the game and the spread
is 6. So, you see the Patriots listed
as -6 and the Jets listed as +6. You place a bet on
the Patriots. If the Patriots win by more
than 6 points, you win the bet. If the Patriots only
win by 6 points, then the game is considered
"no action" and all money is returned. If the Patriots
win by less than 6 points, you lose the bet.
Note that when you place point spread bets, you are
generally laying 110 to win 100
(the book needs it's juice).
Point spreads can go up or down at any time depending
on various factors like player injuries,
weather, and the like. The spread may also be adjusted
if the bets coming into the sportsbooks
are disproportionately favoring one side or the other.
You are generally locked in to whatever
the point spread was at the time you placed your sports
bet.
