Taking the Dallas Cowboys -3 means you are betting with the spread and want the Cowboys to win by MORE than 3 points.īetting against the spread means you are taking the Underdog and the points in a game. For example in the NFL the Dallas Cowboys are favored at -3 over the Philadelphia Eagles. When you bet with the spread it means you are taking the favorite to win and cover the spread. There are two types of against the spread betting, the first is betting with the spread and the second is betting against the spread. A bettor wins his bet on the “Favorite” if the team wins the game by more points than the “spread or line”, the opposite is true for the “Underdog” where the bettor wins if the team loses by less than the spread or wins the game outright. The betting Favorite is considered the better team and listed with a Minus (-) sign while the Underdog is listed with a Plus (+) sign. The point spread is a number aka the “betting line” set by bookmakers at the sportsbook which is intended to even the playing field between two teams and give a reason for bettors to bet on either side of the game. One of the most popular types of sports betting is betting against the spread also known as ATS. Related Topics In Our Sports Betting Guide:
