The Unofficial Official NIFL Line

03/08/03 by a fan who obviously has way to much time on his hands.
It's fun to speculate on things like will team A beat team B by X amount of points and will the point total of the game be over or under our anonymous fans prediction?

*disclaimer

A basic lesson in what oddsmaking, point spreads and the line is.

The point spread - also called "the line" or "the spread" - is used as a margin to handicap the favorite team. For betting purposes, the oddsmaker predicts that the favored team will win by a certain number of points. This number of points is the point spread. The favorite is always indicated by a minus sign (-5.5) and the underdog by a plus sign (+5.5). If you bet on the favorite, you win your bet if the favorite wins and their margin of victory is greater than the point spread. If you bet on the underdog, you win if the underdog wins, ties, or if the favored team wins but fails to exceed the point spread.

The over/under is the number of points oddsmakers expect will be the total score for the contest (both teams combined, overtime included). You bet on whether the total points scored will be more or less than this number.

Betting on a point spread is sometimes called betting "sides" - that is, betting that one side or the other will be the winner - while betting the over/under is referred to as betting "totals".
