    How do I win when the line is minus 7?

    That's the spread -- the under dog is plus 7. If you pick the favored team and they win by more than 7, you win. If they win by exactly 7, you tie. If they win by less than 7, you lose.

    The published "over-under" number typically refers to the final score of an upcoming game. The bettor chooses to wager that the teams will combine for either more points or fewer points than the over-under number. (Consequently, the over-under number is typically expressed as, for example, 32½ or 45½.

    What does it mean by home team having odds of 2.35 and away team having odds of 3.35?
    Tim Harrison
    Community Answer
    When the home team has odds of 2.35, it means that for every unit wagered, the potential payout is 2.35 times the stake if the home team wins. Similarly, odds of 3.35 for the away team indicate that for every unit wagered, the payout would be 3.35 times the stake if the away team wins. These odds suggest that the home team is favored to win, as lower odds typically reflect a higher probability of winning compared to the higher odds for the away team.

    How do you bet based on odds?
    Tim Harrison
    Community Answer
    To bet based on odds, you need to understand that odds reflect the probability of an event happening and the potential payout. Lower odds indicate a higher probability but offer smaller returns, while higher odds suggest a lower probability with greater potential rewards. When placing a bet, assess the odds to determine the risk and reward. For example, a bet with odds of 2.00 will double your stake if successful. Always consider the implied probability and compare the odds across bookmakers to find the best value for your wager.
