Which games do you play?

PICKS To understand how the spread works, it is easiest to look at an example. Let’s suppose Lakers are playing the Timberwolves. Most people would probably pick the Lakers in 2020/21 to win, so the bookie might set a spread of Lakers -7 or Timberwolves 7. Now, you if you pick Lakers -7, it’s not good enough for them to just win— they need to win by more than 7 points. Or if you pick the Timberwolves 7 they need to lose by less than 7 or win. If the line is properly set, the bookie will receive roughly the same amount of money on both sides so that the losers pay the winners, minimizing the bookie’s risk. The NBA spread, also known as betting 'against the spread,' refers to betting on a team to cover or not cover the predicted point differential set by oddsmakers for that game. When betting the spread in basketball, your pick needs to cover that margin in order for you to win the bet.
