Football remains the most widely favoured sport for betting in the UK, attracting 40 per cent of all wagers placed. With a multitude of matches taking place worldwide, punters have the opportunity to engage in various betting markets. Betting sites offer attractive deals and competitive odds to entice bettors.(引文)
The pointspread on the electronic display boards and wagering sheets is always listed next to the favorite. The home team is always listed on the bottom, unless otherwise specified.
In the example, Philadelphia (-3) is favored by 3 points. Philadelphia must win the game by more than three points for the player to win his bet on Philadelphia. If the player bets Washington (+3), Washington must win the game outright or lose by two points or less for the player to win. If Philadelphia wins by exactly three points, it is considered a wagering tie or “push” for wagering purposes and all straight bets on the pointspread are refunded.(引文)
