About LinkBacksI watch football, i love my team, i love the game, but i dont know SHIT about anything to do with betting or "the spread" or whatever the hell anything is.
If/when i bet maybe with a friend or something, i bet to win or loose.
Anyone wanna explain sports betting to me.
All i see is something like *team* *-#* *+#* and random crap that makes no sense to me

if you bet on a team that is at +5.5 and they lose by 5 points, you still win your wager because they covered the spread of 5.5.
if you bet on a team that is at -6 and they only win by 4, you actually lose your wager, because they have to win by 6 (push) or more for you to win.
speaking of which, i won $200 on the giants money line and the over 44 last night. thank you, tony romo and drew bledsoe.

FROM THIS WEEK:
Indianapolis +2.5 @ Denver (-2.5)
If you bet money on Indy, they have to lose by LESS THAN 2.5 points (a FG actually, because there are no half points) OR win outright.
If you bet money on Denver, They have to win by MORE THAN 3 points.
Over/Under spreads are on total points by both teams.
There's also money lines which is just straight win/lose.
And prop. bets, parlays, teasers, a bunch of shit.BOSS
