Title: Need Help in understanding pointspread calculation in NFL
Post by: btcdevil on November 25, 2018, 07:55:32 PM
I am not able to understand how pointspread calculation work in NFL or any sports betting,

Like i got one match tip of

Jacksonvilla  jaguars @ Buffallo Bills - Jacksonvilla wins -3 pointspread bet.

I bet on -3 @ 1.87

and then now i have bet on -2 @ 1.83, -1 @ 1.83

So what if the match goes -3 then will i win all three bets or only one bet.


Please help me as i am new to NFL pointsspread bet

To win in (-) point spread bets the team you want to bet on has to win by at least 1 if not it's considered as a loss or a push depending on how many points you take and vice versa for (+) points.

With your bets being -3,-2 and -1 the Jags has to win by at least 4 points for all three bets to win.

If the Jags win by 3, the -2 and -1 win while the -3 will be pushed.

Depends if the market is Asian handicap or European handicap.

On European handicap markets, there is no voided market, so -3 is actually the same as -3.5. Always make sure to double check the rules of this specific market. But most bookies use the Asian handicap on NFL I believe.
