Stats on Spreads?

[ChocMilk23]

Anyone have the stats on how often the spread actually matters? Like if team A is going to win how often do they really win by 4 when the spread is -3.5 instead of just winning by like 10. I am sure some of you experts have some figures on this... just wondering...

I remember when I use to ask those questions.

Just watch the line move towards the start of the game. You learn when you lose money.

Use one of the sdql websites (killersports or sportsdatabase) and run queries for the sports you want info for. On the main query page for each sport at the killersports site there is a list of game parameters and shortcuts you can use to build your queries. Below is a query for your -3.5/win by 4 situation. Good luck.

line=-3.5 and margin=4
