| Question about betting the spread. Posted by inebr8ted tiger Dumb question here...  on 9/6 at 1:47 pmWhen I make a wager on a game does it lock in the spread at what the spread is at that time or am I subject to changes in the spread? Reply • Back to Top |

| As long as you are giving instructions to the newbies. Whenever there is a -6 and then a -110, what does the -110 mean? Reply • Back to Top |
| You risk 110 to win 100 (hence the -110) If it was +130 you'd would risk 100 to win 130. Its really just a 10% juice on a loss so if you bet $50 @ -110 you are risking $55 to win $50. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Exactly. Any bet against the spread is considered an even money proposition, which is denoted by -110. When you see a number like -320 or something, that's a moneyline bet. Youre just betting on who wins the game. You risk 320 to win 100. Whoever that team is playing against will likely be +280. So you only risk 100 to win 280. The reason those two numbers (320 and 280) aren't the same is because the bookmaker's juice is factored in. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Just to be clear, did you mean, if you bet $55 at -110, you're risking $55 to win $50? So if I bet, say, $130 at -130, that means I stand to win $100 with a winning bet, right? Reply • Back to Top |
