Vegas Odds Jacksonville @ Baltimore

Quote:That's silly.


How do you score a half a point?
 

A lot of times Vegas will use fractions (usually halves) to prevent what is called a "push" or in other words, a tie.  Think of it this way.  If the line is -3.5 for a team and they win by 3 then they don't cover the spread.  A bet for the opposing team would cover that spread and be the winning bet.

 

Same with Over/Under.  If the Over/Under for a game is 42.5 and there are 42 total points scored, then the Under bet wins and the Over bet loses.



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
