 Alright, betters, now that we've covered the money line, it's time to cover the spread. The spread, also known as the line, is used to even up the odds between two unevenly matched teams. For example, in this WNBA game here you see that Chicago Sky are the underdogs at plus 250 on the money line and Connecticut Sun is minus 325 as the favorite. If you place a $100 wager on Connecticut's Sun money line, you could only potentially win back $30. So this is where the spread comes into play. You can bet on their spread for them to win by 8 points or more at minus 104 odds. Or if you like the Chicago Sky but you're not 100% confident in their money line, you can bet for them to lose by 7 points or less. And if they win outright, all the better. Just a fun fact, the reasoning for the half number in a lot of spread and total betting is just to eliminate the possibility of a void or a push.
