Ever wondered - How do
you place a bet on point spreads in an online
sportsbook?
The point spread is the
#1 most important word in the world of
sports betting. Point spreads are most commenly
set and monitored by the
oddsmakers in Las Vegas for use in both sportsbooks
& online gambling sites
on the web. The point spread requires
considerable oversight and monitoring on the
part of the sports betting investor.
A change in the point
spread can make all the difference in the world
when it comes to winning a bet.
Movement of a
point spread in the slightest way can take a
sports betting investor, who has studied the
lines, from Rags to Riches. This is why we shop
for the best lines and point spreads.
The pointspread - also
called "the line" - is used as a margin
to handicap the favorite team. The oddsmaker
- also called the handicapper - "gives" points
(or goals) to the underdog for betting purposes
only. The bettor must take either the favorite
or the underdog.
The favorite is always
indicated by a minus sign (e.g. -5.5) and the
underdog by a plus sign (e.g.+5.5). For betting
purposes, the outcome of the game is determined
by taking the actual game score and finding the
difference between the scores of the two teams
playing (called the pointspread or just the "spread").
If the "line" is
put in at a half point (e.g. -5.5 for the favorite
Orlando) by the oddsmaker then there can be no "push." In
this case, there is "action" at any
final game score pointspread. In a pointspread,
you must wager $110 to win $100 ($210 is returned
to the winner). 10/11 is the standard for pointspread
bets on most sports.
