What is Point Spread Betting?

Master point spread betting with AI-powered analysis. Understand how spreads work, what ATS means, and how our machine learning models predict covers.

Point Spread Betting is one of the most accessible bet types for new sports bettors. You don't need advanced math or deep statistical knowledge to get started. It's a great entry point into the world of sports wagering.

How Point Spread Betting works

Point spread betting levels the playing field between mismatched teams. The favorite gives points (e.g., -7.5) while the underdog receives them (e.g., +7.5). To win a spread bet, the favorite must win by more than the spread, while the underdog must lose by fewer points than the spread (or win outright).

Real example

Example

Eagles -6.5 vs Cowboys +6.5: If the Eagles win 27-23 (4-point margin), Cowboys +6.5 bettors win because 23 + 6.5 = 29.5 > 27. The Eagles didn't cover the spread.

How AI gives you an edge

Traditional point spread betting analysis relies on gut feelings, media narratives, and surface-level stats. Our AI models process thousands of data points that human analysts miss, identifying value bets with mathematical precision.

AI Edge

Our AI models predict game margins with high precision — when our predicted margin differs significantly from the market spread, that's a value bet.

By combining machine learning with historical data across thousands of games, our models find edges in point spread betting markets that would take human analysts hours to uncover. And you get access to all of it for 99 cents per sport.
