NFL Football Point
Spread
Example of a NFL Football
Point Spread
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 favorite NFL football team is
always listed with a negative number. As you
might expect, the reverse is true for the NFL
football 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.
NFL Football is one of
the sports that commonly uses spread bets. The
Oakland Raiders are playing the New York Jets.
The Raiders are expected
to win the game and the spread is 6. So, you
see the Raiders listed as -6 and the Jets listed
as +6. You place a bet on the Raiders. If the
Raiders win by more than 6 points, you win the
bet. If the Raiders only win by 6 points, then
the game is considered "no action"
and all money is returned. If the Raiders 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).
Try a couple of spread bets and soon point spreads
will become second nature. It is a very fun
and challenging method of betting.
This should give you a
start in the right direction. We trust you will
find this reading enjoyable and informative.
GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON!!
