The spread or point spread (an American term for a handicap bet) is a positive or negative value applied to a team’s total at the end of a specified period. It predicts which team will win once the 'spread' has been applied.
Any bets ending in a tie once the spread has been applied will be void.
For example:
| Event | Selection | Actual result | Result after handicap applied |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicago Bulls @ NY Knicks | Chicago Bulls +6.5 | Chicago Bulls 110-112 NY Knicks | Chicago Bulls 116.5-112 NY Knicks (Bet wins) |
| Chicago Bears @ NY Giants | Chicago Bears -7.5 | Chicago Bears 27-23 NY Giants | Chicago Bears 19.5-23 NY Giants (Bet loses) |
| Buffalo Bills @ NY Jets | NY Jets -5.0 | Buffalo Bills 15-20 NY Jets | Buffalo Bills 15-15 NY Jets (Bet void) |
