Hey,
I thought I'd make football a little more interesting by playing the pro-line on the games this weekend. So far things are looking good, I bet on the St. Louis Rams to beat the Seahawks, and the Jets to beat the Chargers.
The only issue is, I've never played point spread before, so I'm not sure how it works. On my ticket there's a number, 6.5, beside the Chargers, which I'm assuming means that their favoured by 6.5 points.
So, the game is in overtime right now. Seems to me that no matter which team scores the winning field goal, I win? If the Chargers do it, they only win by 3, which means (if i'm using the phrase properly) they didn't cover the spread. So, even though San Diego wins the game in real life, I still win on my ticket betting on the Jets, because San Diego only won by 3 points?
Anyone else play this that can tell me?
