Lets look at the Rams game
Rams -3.5
Vikings +3.5
The rams have been set as a 3.5 point favorite on the betting line. The negative number will be the team who is the favorite, or "spotting points"
That means for the Rams to cover the spread they will need to win by at least 3.5 points (4 essentially)
Ex Final Scores
Rams 10
Vikings 7
lose
Rams 11
Vikings 7
Win
If you were to pick the Vikings and +3.5 that means you think that the Vikings will win straight up or that they will lose by LESS then 3.5 points.
Ex Final Scores
Rams 10
Vikings 11
Win
Rams 12
Vikings 11
Win
Rams 16
Vikings 12
Lose
Make a little more sense?

That's a great example.
The other way to bet is just head to head which is this team or that team will win but you get paid more if the team is not favored like 2/1 in the odds ($2 paid for every $1 bet) or less if the team is favored like 1/2 in the odds ($1 for every $2 bet), Of course, you also get your bet back if you win too.
One thing I forgot to tell you.. When you go to settle bets on a push, make sure you make everyone a winner or it will just take everyones money. So for the sake of argument pushes here are winners.

I've put up a few side bets for the Ram's game that people may be interested in.
I waqs going to reply to his post and say "You mean hookers not strippers" then you posted and I thought "Hmmm, maybe that would be a bad visual".
Hahahahahahahahaha
That .5 is how bookies and Vegas make so much money. It's the secret weapon that they have gotten people to accept.
I was going to lay some hard earned, irresponsible ROD cash on the Packers tonight but after doing a little more research I'm on the fence about who to take in this one. It certainly won't be one of my picks in my Pick 4 league.
I think I'm just going to bet half my money on a Rams win each week. The odds will generally take care of me, paying me a meager amount for the Rams easy home opening win against, Minnesota, but paying me a ton for the Rams week 17 win at Seattle.
Just curious, how did I earn this money to begin with? I'm sure it's written around here somewhere. But just like my betting style, my research style could be accurately described as LAZY.

you earn money simply by posting... Eazy Peazy. You also get additional money when someone likes your post, logging in everyday.
How do you get up into big bucks territory? You have 20 times my posts but 1000 times my money. Is that all from wagering? I do have a lot of likes for my meager number of posts, I think.
When I go to the east side with @CGI_Ram , I wanna get the hot strippers! (no skanks for me, thank you!)
Over the course of the year I gave everyone a bunch of money.. Also your money earns interest as well.
Well thanks for that! I do enjoy playing with house money when the opportunity arises.
Hmmm... with my betting strategy, after the Rams go 16-0, I'll have $4M to spend on strippers! Hmm... maybe I should be calling 800-BETS-OFF before I get started.
