Hi, I'm from Poland in europe and I don't know if I understand correctly. A spread of e.g. Packers +3 means that Packers wins and scores 3 more points? And Packers -5,5 means that Packers wins but not more than 5,5 points i.e. for example 21-16 ?
Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for what you do, data science in sports and medicine are the greatest fields of the 21st century.
Hi Jakub and welcome to the page! I think you may have it flipped in your example. so the '+' sign means that team is getting those points and is the underdog. So the Packers being +3 means they can lose the game by 2 points and still cover the +3 spread (example would be losing 19-17 is still covers the +3 spread).
Packers -5 means they would need to win by 6 or more points to cover that spread (Example: Packers winning 19-13 covers -5 the spread. Packers winning 19-16 would not cover the -5 spread).
Please let me know if this helped answer your question and otherwise I can provide another example. Thank you for following and supporting us this season from Poland!
Thank you very much. I think I understand now. In Europe, bookmaking betting looks a little different. They are based on handicap here. After publishing the first set of winning types. If I had doubts I will ask in the comments.
