Hello Guys, I'm new to sports gambling and I thought this would be a great forum to ask my questions. (1) How is the point spread determined for a game like (Football). (2) what is happen when the spread keep going up during the week before the game. Please Help, thanks in advance for your help...Tammy

A company in Vegas called LV Sports Consultants advises many casinos on the opening lines, though casinos may and do tweak these as they see fit. From there, the line movements you see throughout the week are usually a result of how much money is being bet on either side, so if you see a line move from -3 to -4 to -5, ie, that can be an indication there is significantly more money being bet on the favorite than on the underdog.Comment -
Money management is issue Number One. Have a "starting bankroll" separate from your other money. It should be a minimum of $500.
Bet on each game no more than 3% of the bankroll each week.
Don't plunge on "sure things." There ain't no such animal.
If you just want to bet for fun, that's ok. The great majority of folks who bet football are recreational bettors, they enjoy the games more if they have a little wager on the outcome.
Follow some of the good NFL 'cappers here on this board.
If you are looking at line movement, it's usually best, in general, to go AGAINST it. If a line moves a few points during the week, bet the dog.
As an SBR institution, jjgold, once said here: if you stick to betting only dogs you won't get hurt too bad.
Don't follow his picks, tho!!Comment
