Point spreads are for those that know the game a little better as you have to bet on the winning margin of victory. Normally, your online sportsbook will set out a number, for example, the aforementioned Cleveland-Miami matchup would have the Cavaliers at -6 and the Heat at +6. Again, the favorite is shown by the positive sign and the underdog by a negative. If you were to bet on the Cavs, they would need to win by more than six points while the Heat would have to lose by less than six or win outright to give you a betting victory. If the final margin is exactly six points, that is called a push or a tie and you get your money back.
