container mx-auto\" >\n    In sports betting, the point spread is simply the number created by sportsbooks between two teams (the favorite and the underdog) to drive wagering action on both sides. The spread is a wager on the margin of victory in a game or match, where the favored team must win by more than the stated points to cover the betting spread.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Typically, the <strong>underdog will start with positive points (+)<\/strong>, while the favorite starts with negative points (-). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    To understand this form of betting better, here\u2019s an example from the WNBA at <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/us\/draftkings-review\/\">DraftKings<\/a> \u2014 one of the most popular sportsbooks in the United States.  <\/p>\n\n<div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"wp-block-wis-blocks-desktop-mobile-media-block container\">\n  <figure class=\"desktop-mobile-media\">\n    \n      <picture class=\"desktop-mobile-media__picture\">\n                  <source media=\"(max-width: 576px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tpp-draftkings-spread-betting-mobile.png\" \/>\n                          <source media=\"(min-width: 577px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tpp-draftkings-spread-betting-desktop.png\" \/>\n          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop-mobile-media__img border-radius-md\" src=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tpp-draftkings-spread-betting-desktop.png\" alt=\"draftkings spread betting desktop screenshot\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1108\" height=\"432\"\/>\n              <\/picture>\n\n    \n              <figcaption class=\"desktop-mobile-media__caption\">(Source: DraftKings)<\/figcaption>\n        <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The Atlanta Dream team is the favorite at <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/us\/moneyline-betting\/\">moneyline<\/a> odds of -148, while the Indiana Fever is the underdog at +124 moneyline odds. To even out the odds, the bookie applies a point spread of 3.5, so the ATL Dream\u2019s odds are -105, and the IND Fevers have odds of -115.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Given that the Dreams are the favorite, they\u2019ll have 3.5 points deducted from their final score; whereas the Fevers get 3.5 points added to their final score as the underdogs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    For instance, if the match ends with Dreams at 107 and Fevers at 110, the punters who bet on the favorite lose the bet. This is because 3.5 points are removed from the ATL Dream\u2019s final score, making it that the Dreams have 103.5 and the Fevers 110. The reverse would be true for bettors who put their money on the underdog. Punters who bet on the IND Fever would win as 3.5 points are added to the Fever\u2019s final score, which would mean that the Dreams have 107 points and the Fevers 113.5 points.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-read-a-point-spread\" class=\"jump-link-heading\"  >How To Read a Point Spread<\/h2>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Now that you know what spread betting comprises, let's take a look at how to read a point spread.<\/p>\n\n<div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"wp-block-wis-blocks-desktop-mobile-media-block container\">\n  <figure class=\"desktop-mobile-media\">\n    \n      <picture class=\"desktop-mobile-media__picture\">\n                  <source media=\"(max-width: 576px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tpp-FANDUEL-spread-betting-mobile.png\" \/>\n                          <source media=\"(min-width: 577px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tpp-FANDUEL-spread-betting-desktop.png\" \/>\n          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop-mobile-media__img border-radius-md\" src=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tpp-FANDUEL-spread-betting-desktop.png\" alt=\"fanduel spread betting desktop screenshot\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1108\" height=\"432\"\/>\n              <\/picture>\n\n    \n              <figcaption class=\"desktop-mobile-media__caption\">(Source: FanDuel)<\/figcaption>\n        <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"handicap\">\n        Handicap\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Let\u2019s follow the above example, from the NBA finals featuring the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks. FanDuel sportsbook applied a handicap of (1) point between the two teams, represented by &#8216;-&#8216; and &#8216;+' symbols. The favorite is usually expected to win by an amount greater than the points stated by the bookmaker, while the <strong>underdog is expected to<\/strong> <strong>lose by fewer points than the spread<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"favorite\">\n        Favorite\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The bookie has determined that the Celtics are more likely to win the game, so they picked them as the point spread favorite in this match. You can easily identify the favorite by the minus sign preceding the handicap. As you can see in the example above, the Boston Celtics have a spread of -1.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    This simply means that the sportsbook expects them to win by one or more points. Consequently, for a point spread bet on the Celtics to win, they need to win the match by a number bigger than one point. So, even if the Celtics win by a point, the bet\u2019s a loser. <\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"the-underdog\">\n        The Underdog\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    In the above example, the Dallas Mavericks are the likely losers in this game; therefore, they\u2019re the point spread underdogs. This is indicated by the plus (+) symbol in front of the handicap. The oddsmakers are convinced that the Mavericks will lose the game by one point. \r<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    In order to win the point spread betting with the Mavericks, they would have to win the game outright or lose by exactly one point. As a result, if they lose by two or more points, then the bet loses. <\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"vig\">\n        Vig\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    In spread betting, there\u2019s usually <strong>a second set of odds attached to each spread<\/strong> known as the vig or vigorish, serving as the <strong>price of wagering<\/strong>. In other words, think of the vig as the sportsbook's fee for taking the wager. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The Vig, also known as the betting juice, <strong>usually ranges between -120 and +100<\/strong>. Additionally, you stake much less placing this type of bet than you otherwise would on an uneven moneyline bet. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    In our case above, FanDuel assigned a vig of -110 to both teams. This means you would have to bet $110 to win $100, in addition to your original stake, as the vigorish is a negative number in this case. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    A vig of +110, on the other hand, would mean the reverse is true. To win $110, you must wager $100. The math remains the same for smaller numbers too. So, if you stake $10, you should just divide the vig by 10 \u2014 odds of -110 would mean you have to bet $11 to win $10, and so on. <\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"betting-against-the-point-spread\" class=\"jump-link-heading\"  >Betting Against the Point Spread<\/h2>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    You should determine which team you think will cover the spread if you\u2019re going to be successful in spread sports betting. Moreover, you\u2019ll need to decide the best moment to place your bet as the spread keeps changing. Then, you must understand the juice\/vig on the bet as well as the potential winnings. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    We\u2019ve explained these points below:<\/p>\n\n<div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-block\">\n    <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"container\">\n        <ul class=\"list-unstyled teal-bullet\">\n                        <li class=\"list-item\">\n                <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__wrapper\">\n                                        <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__icon\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/themes\/thepunterspage\/public\/images\/list-icon--teal-bullet.c6326b.svg\" alt=\"List Icon\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                    <\/div>\n                                        <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__text\">\n                                                <p><strong>Who will cover the spread?<\/strong> \u2014 Covering the point spread is when your chosen team beats the assigned handicap. As such, you ought to decide on which team you think will ultimately beat the spread stated by your bookie. Then, you can go ahead and bet on the favorite or the underdog.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n                        <li class=\"list-item\">\n                <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__wrapper\">\n                                        <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__icon\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/themes\/thepunterspage\/public\/images\/list-icon--teal-bullet.c6326b.svg\" alt=\"List Icon\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                    <\/div>\n                                        <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__text\">\n                                                <p><strong>Why does the point spread change?<\/strong> \u2014 The point spread market is normally dynamic, and sports betting sites can change the spread based on several factors. Oddsmakers' decision to change the spread can be influenced by how professional bettors are wagering, and the amount of money accumulated between the teams. Moreover, breaking news concerning the game, such as weather and injuries, can have an impact on the spread points. <\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n                        <li class=\"list-item\">\n                <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__wrapper\">\n                                        <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__icon\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/app\/themes\/thepunterspage\/public\/images\/list-icon--teal-bullet.c6326b.svg\" alt=\"List Icon\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                    <\/div>\n                                        <div   id="02f2mesihy"    class=\"list-item__text\">\n                                                <p><strong>What is -110?<\/strong> \u2014 This is called the vig, which is the price betting sites charge you to wager on this market.

The amount of money you bet impacts how much you can make. For consistency, let\u2019s use the -110 example; to win $100, you\u2019ll need to bet $110. Similarly, if you have odds of -120, you must wager $120 to win $100.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-is-a-point-spread-determined\" class=\"jump-link-heading\"  >How Is a Point Spread Determined?<\/h2>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Spread betting in sports is determined by a number of factors, the biggest being the variance in the <strong>level of skill between different teams<\/strong>. Usually, <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo333bet.com\/us\/best-sportsbooks\/\">sportsbooks<\/a> have metrics in place for ranking teams' skill and strength, which ultimately help them decide the spread for every game.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Another factor that an oddsmaker will consider includes <strong>injuries<\/strong>. If a key player is injured, and therefore wouldn\u2019t be playing at their optimum performance, the point spread is likely going to reflect that. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The <strong>location of a game<\/strong> also has an impact on the spread. Specifically, NBA home teams are normally favored with a couple of points to account for the home advantage.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    <strong>Form<\/strong> also comes into play, where a <strong>team\u2019s recent performance<\/strong> (i.e. win-loss record\/data, as well as the margin in victory) have an impact on the spread. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Other factors that can influence the point spread are <strong>weather<\/strong>, <strong>head-to-head performance<\/strong>, and <strong>game situation<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-spread-betting-in-basketball\" class=\"jump-link-heading\"  >What Is Spread Betting in Basketball?<\/h2>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Point spread betting in the NBA is an exciting way to place bets on various teams.
