Point Spread

Point Spread wagers are where you have Team A and Team B and one team is favoured over another by a fixed point difference, known as a Point Spread.

If you wager on the team that is favoured, indicated by a minus sign (-), they must win by at least the amount of the stated Point Spread for you to win. If you take the other team, the underdog, indicated by the plus sign (+), your team must win outright or lose by less than the Point Spread for your wager to be considered a win.
