  1. Slots are rubbish on spread ex. I feel like I’m there only customer sometimes. Btr value for sports on betfair….but their slots are all dead too and it’s the same for all uk sportsbook sites.

  2. Here’s an easy way for you noobs to get it. Use the example at :40. Team B is -2 and O/U is 47 meaning the spread believes team B will win 24.5-22.5. If you believe the score will be higher, you bet over. If you believe team B will win by more, you bet B. If you think team A will win or lose by 1, you bet A

  3. This one was simple and easy to understand. Have to slow down when discussing the intricacies of winning and losing against the spread, but otherwise well explained.

  4. My calculated line is Fav team A -1, but the line at the book is Team A -2.5, so I'm thinking that betting on Team B +2.5 is the way to go since I'd have the fav not beating the spread. Does that make sense, or am I all wet on this thinking? Open to comments from anyone reading this?

    Also, I read somewhere that "if you have a calculated point spread greater than a 5-point overlay on one of the teams, then that's a bet to consider." Would that mean that if the Line is Team A -3.5, but I have calculated Team A at -2, then the bet would be on the underdog, Team B +3.5? The reasoning is that there's a 5.5 point overlay between the underdog and the line.

    I've looked everywhere for a clear definition or explanation of what this could mean. Thanks to anyone that could clear that up.
