Question

How do I win when the line is minus 7?

Community Answer

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.

Question

What should I do if I believe a bookmaker is using odds to deceive me?

Community Answer

Do your own research on why the odds or lines are being offered the way they are. Explore other bookmakers for comparison. Then place your bets with a bookmaker that has an established history of being honest.

Question

I'm constantly betting 3 team parlays with low money because that's the best risk reward but winning with very little success. Should I stay away from parlays?

Matt S

Community Answer

Yes, stay away from parlays. You are betting in order to win an amount as opposed to winning in general. Greedy bettors is how professionals and bookmakers profit.

Question

What is the meaning of under and over in football bet?

Donagan

Top Answerer

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. Sometimes the over-under number will refer to some other aspect of an upcoming game, such as the number of first downs or second-half passing touchdowns.
