    Spread/Moneyline Converter for NFL?

    Looks a little off. A 10 point favorite should be -700? That doesn't seem right. Have looked around and it looks way off. Anybody else?

    That is what TPowell is looking at. And I agree that -700 seems awfully high.

    It is not broken. Just has the setting of keeping the same EV on moneyline and spread (-4.55% at -110). Sportsbooks have smaller hold on MLs, so you will not find -700/+480 lines, more like -620/+490. So, just input reduced juice on the spread (like -106 or less, depending on the spread).

    Ahhh, I see. He's making a good point then because Atlanta is -550 this week.

    Cookie Monster explained it perfectly, the SBR converter is computing straight 4.55% hold across the board, while in the real world the hold percentage gets lower as the odds go up.
