Point Spread Bets (All Sports)
Point spread betting is the most common
form of betting Football and Basketball games. The games are hadicapped where in most cases one team will be favored to win by a predetermined margin. If
the number is positive (+) then you add the points
to your team's score. If the number is negative
(-) then subtract those points from your teams
score. The side with the higher score after the
points are applied is the winner. For football
and basketball the payoff is $100 for every $110
wagered unless otherwise noted.
