Take Advantage of the NFL Lines – Interpretation and Uses
The central point of the NFL football betting action is represented by the point spreads. They are very much like the direct wagers and other kind of bets having in common the requirement of researching and keeping track of Sports Scores by analyzing statistics and checking the Sports Odds. The differentiator factor from other forms of sport betting is that point spreads betting gives a very important attention to the movement of the sport lines. Knowing that, you can improve your skills and winnings in point spread betting in NFL by making your betting decisions according to the ins and outs of the NFL lines.
Below you will see and example of a simple common NFL football point spread:
101 Team A +3 (-110)
41
102 Team B -3 (-110)
The first numbers in the left, 101 and 102, are used to help you keep track of the teams easier and facilitates the introduction of data into the sport book’s computer system. This type of numbering is very useful and convenient for you and for online sport books and for old-fashioned offline bookmakers all over the world as well. It takes considerably less time to assign each time a number than use its name.
In line with each team, at the right, the name of the teams are followed by other numbers, which represent the predicted odds for each team, and the math signs minus and plus indicate the favorite (minus) and the underdog (plus). So if we take the previous example, Team B is favored by three points (it will have to win the game by at least 4 points for you to collect your wager). If the team you have put your bet on wins, but doesn’t succeed in reaching the number of points specified by the sports book, your bet is null and you will get all your money back.
If you are a beginner bettor, the number in the brackets (-110) can mislead you when reading the NFL lines. They are used to point the “juice”, “vigorish” or “vig” – the fee for the investment in your bet. In the above illustrated example if you want to win $100 you have to bet $110 so the final sum collected will be $210 (your investment plus the actual value of the bet).
In the given example there is one more number on the second line, at the beginning of the line: 41. In the point spread betting, this number indicates the limit over or under you can place your wager. If you choose to go over, in order to win, the game must end with at least 42 points (total amount of points). If you choose to place your bet under, in order to win, the game must have a final amount of points lower than 41.
The last thing that you should take into consideration about NFL lines, but not least, is that the last team (placed on the bottom position) is the one playing home. For example, in the earlier example, Team B will host the match and, in theory, this gives the team an advantage over the guests. Still, there are games played on neutral ground, in this case, attributing the home team is the responsibility of the sports league officials of bookmakers, but in the most cases, this is just a formality.
