Point spread A point spread wager is a bet on a team to win the game with handicaps applied. To even the match for betting purposes the favorite gives the underdog a points start. A favorite is indicated by a minus points handicap and the underdog by plus points. At the end of the game the relevant handicap is added to, or subtracted from the selected teams' score to determine the point spread result. Where teams are deemed to be evenly matched, no point spread is applied; this is called a 'Pick' game. When scores are level after accounting for the handicap, a 'push' results.

Selling points Points can be sold for the full game only on spreads and totals to move the spread or total to your disadvantage.
