What is Point Spread (Handicap) Betting?
Point Spread betting, also known as Handicap betting, levels the playing field by giving an advantage or disadvantage to a team based on their expected performance. You bet on whether a team will win or lose by a specified margin.
Tips for Winning Point Spread Bets:
- Understand how the spread affects the outcome of your bet.
- Analyze past performance and team consistency against the spread.
- Look for matches where the spread seems favorable based on team strengths.
When to Use:
- When one team is significantly stronger but odds on a straight win are low.
- When a weaker team is expected to perform better than expected.
When to Avoid:
- Matches with unpredictable outcomes or inconsistent team performance.
- Games involving teams with significant injuries or other uncertainties.
