What does spread mean in betting?

“Spread” in betting refers to a point spread, a type of wager designed to even the playing field between two unevenly matched teams. It’s mostly used in sports betting.

A point spread is a predetermined margin that the favorite team must win by or the underdog must lose within in order for bets to be successful.

For example, Team A has a -7.5 spread, while Team B has a +7.5 spread. This shows that Team A is the favorite and must win by 7.5 points or more, while Team B is the underdog and can either win or lose by fewer than 7.5 points.
