Good lord, you don't have to be a detective to figure out the point. Let me put it in a way your little penrod mind can understand: If vegas sets a spread at a certain number, the outcome of that game is usually close to that number. If there's anything else you need explained just ask.

Sorry pal, I have to disagree. I don't think "your little penrod mind" has any clue how this works. Re-read the guy's comment: it's the bettors that set the spreads. Vegas just uses the figures that get equal money on each side.

And there's a helluva lot of difference between "gets it right more than 90% of the time" and "usually close." Getting it right 90% of the time would mean that the final score hit exactly on the spread 90% of the time.
