Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n

\n

\n

Is spread betting appropriate for beginner punters?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n

\n

We encourage new players to try their hand at moneylines before jumping into spread betting activities. Because the purpose of spread bets is to even out the playing field between two poorly matched teams or players, correctly predicting an outcome requires a nuanced understanding of participants, injury reports, and statistics.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n

\n

Can a spread end in a push?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Usually no. To prevent spread bets from pushing, bookies add half a point to each side of the line. Because most sports disciplines recognize only full points, including half points in the spread eliminates the possibility of a draw.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n

Are there exclusive spread betting offers?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Yes. While many bonuses are universal and applicable to all types of betting, some offers, such as Spreadex’ \u00a3300 bonus, are specifically tailored to spread markets.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n

Why does the point spread move?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Sports betting operators earn money by facilitating wagers. Their fee, called the “vig” or “vigorish,” is baked directly into the line. Betting providers move the point spread to encourage action on the side that receives less attention from punters. By doing so, the sportsbook equalizes its exposure on both sides of the wager, securing profits regardless of the match’s outcome.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n

What’s the difference between “buy” and “sell”?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n

\n

If you predict the match’s final result will exceed the spread, you wager at the corresponding “buy” odds. Conversely, if your research or intuition suggests that the game’s final result will come in under the spread, select the “sell” odds.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
