RE: SteemSports: Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers (Thursday Night Football) - Mass SP Distribution Game!
The spread simply means this: In our case, the Arizona Cardinals are starting the game -4.5 and the 49ers are starting the game with 4.5 points, let's say the Cardinals win the game and the final score is 27-26, the 49ers would win the bet because they have 30.5 points. (with the spread)
Why would you do that?
Seems unfair no?
I don't ever do any gambling/betting so maybe I'm just a noob.
It's so the game is even. If the worst team in the NFL was playing the best team.. They would get slottered so that's why we need spread!
Right so by using the spread then the better gets to decide if the better team can still win even with the spread and then its gambling again!
Thanks for the response. Makes sense!
