What does minus 8.5 spread mean?
What does +8.5 mean in spread bet?
Let's say that a team is favored as 8.5 point favorites or written as -8.5. For the favored team to “cover the spread,” they must win by at least nine points. If they win by eight points or less, it doesn't matter that they won because they didn't cover the spread.

What does a minus 5 spread mean?
In simple terms, a point spread is a bet on how much the favorite team will win by. If the team has a minus sign, that means they're the favorite and they'll have to win by the specified number or more for you to win your bet.

What is 0.5 spread mean?
In most instances, a spread is given 0.5 extra on both sides. This is because sports like football and basketball do not have half points. By adding 0.5 extra, like 5.5 or -7.5, you are ensuring that one team will always win in the end and there will never be a draw in a point spread wager.

What does a +1.5 spread mean in football?
A spread of +1.5 or -1.5 basically indicates both teams are pretty much evenly matched—essentially, a +1.5 underdog has just about as good of a chance to win as a -1.5 favorite (at least in the eyes of oddsmakers). Again, though, this only applies to football and basketball spread betting.
