In this video, my brother Mark aka MFA, goes over further into sports betting and looks at the concept of point spreads, and how to read them. A point spread is the amount of points a team is favored to win by, indicated by a minus (-) sign. For example, if the Cleveland Cavaliers are favored to win against the Golden State Warriors by 3 points, then their point spread would be -3.
On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors would be likely to lose by 3 points, which would be indicated by a plus (+) sign, and their spread would be +3.
If you were to bet on a team to “cover” the spread, that means that your team beats the given spread. For example, betting on the Cavaliers to cover the spread would require that they win by MORE than 3 points. Betting on the Warriors would require they win or lose by LESS than 3 points. However, if the Cavaliers win by 3 points, then their is a tie and no one wins, or loses.
A spread indicated by a Pick, PK, Even, Pick’em, or Pick em means that you are betting strictly on whether a team wins, regardless of the amount of points.
Some spreads avoid ties by adding a 0.5 or 1/2 to the spread, such as -3.5 or +3.5. The only difference is that a tie means that the favored team wins by 3.5, which is not possible in most sports because the scoring systems are almost always written in whole numbers.

My suggestion is to bet on Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread the whole season, unless Lebron James has something to say about that…

Would you make more on a parlay ML or parlay spread?
But Denver won tho dont they win the spread
If i bet 4th quarter margin 13+ why do i lose if they win for more than 13 points? Example: Lakers Vs Warriors. I pick Lakers 13+ and they win 117 to 91. Why i lose if they win for more than 13 points?
Be sure to read honest and real reviews left by users who have bought Sports Spread Betting on my blog before you buy. Go to thecbreviews. com/sports-spread-betting-review/ (remove space before com). Thanks, Paolo.
Why not just say take the score and if it's a +3 spread, add that to the final score. If it puts that team ahead (don't worry about the other spread for the other team) that's a win. If it's a -3 for the other team that you bet on, subtract those points from the final score and if they still are ahead, that wins.
What does it 'to cover'?
i swear doesnt matter what the odd changes too, i ALWAYS fuckin lose by 1 point or half a point -_-.
so when i place a bet like a combo parlay for example 4 games whats these numbers and how do you calculate the payout for example
1.45
1.91
1.91
1.83 say i bet $53 how is the math calculated to find out your payout?
Good explanation!
