      Wait so for some games the point spread is only -3.5 pts for a team soo you're telling me all the that team has to do is win by more than 3.5 points???

      An easy way to think about it is just pretend that the team that is minus 7 is starting the game with negative seven points. Then keep score to yourself with that in mind. Then who ever wins according to your score, wins the bet. Or you could score to yourself that the other team starts the game with 7. It doesn't matter which way you do it. I usually use the minus 7 negative points way cause t just tickles my fancy, but either works.

    So covering the spread. If you're betting Team A to cover, they need to lose by not more than 7? And if you're betting Team B to cover, they need to win by more than 7?

    • @TheAlchemist1089
      @TheAlchemist1089 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If team 1 is +7
      Then you win the bet if - Team 1 wins or loses by not more than 7 points margin
      For team 2 which is -7
      You will win if team 2 wins by more than 7 points only.
      If team 2 loses, or wins by less than 7 points, you'll lose your bet

    It's easier just to imagine that one team has 7 points or negative 7 points at the beginning of the game and just keep your ow score. That's how I was taught. That way who ever wins In your little augmented scoring book tells you who wins the bet.

    • @tristanoleary991
      @tristanoleary991 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You win ur bet. The underdog has 1 of 2 ways of winning win outright or lose but keep it closer than the pt spread. A rlly easy way to memorize it for beginners the team favored must win by the pt spread if they don’t the underdog bet wins. So the favorite only has 1 way of winning win the pt spread.

    I'm not really good on picking the spreads usually but it will take some time to get used to I've seen some college games especially -28.5 , 28.5 + let's say it was Ohio versus Oregon I picked Ohio to cover the spread - 28.8 they basically have to score more than 28 points let's play the game ended 50-32

      Then you’d bet the “Moneyline” which only factors in win or lose.
      Usually the moneyline has worse odds than the spread
