POINT SPREAD SPORTS-BETS
A Point Spread is the number of points added to or subtracted from a team's actual score for betting purposes.
The favorite is indicated by the minus sign "-" and the underdog is indicated by the plus sign "+". To determine the winner for betting purposes, the Point Spread is added to the final score of the team you bet on. Point Spread rules are as follows:
|
- The bettor can combine a Point Spread bet with a Totals bet.
- The Point Spread may change between the time the bettor places his bet and the time the event starts; regardless, his bet is subject to the point spread displayed at the time he placed his bet.
For example, the bettor wagers on Miami -7 to beat Buffalo +7. The following table shows possible wager results on three final scores.
