Football online betting is most popular on pointspread sides. You can also refer to this type of wagering as “spread,” or “line” betting. When you bet sides in football betting you either take the favorite at minus points or the dog at plus points. Let’s look at some examples.
Football online betting sides are easy to understand. For example, if you see an NFL football betting line that reads, Buffalo +7, New England -7 that means that Buffalo would have to either win the game or lose by less than seven points to “cover the spread” while New England would have to win by more than seven-points to cover the football online betting spread. If the game ended with New England winning by exactly seven points the game would be considered a “push” and all bets would be refunded in football online betting. If New England beat Buffalo 27-21, Buffalo would still win the bet even though they lost the game because the lost by less than seven points in football online betting. If New England beat Buffalo 27-17 they would cover the spread and win the bet because they won by more than seven points in football betting.
