On a bet of 3 games, depending on where you play it, the pay-out would be 7/1
in the case that the game ends exatcly at the .0 that the spread offers, all bets for that game are off, the other two games on our ticket are still a gamble, if you lose one of them, you lose your bet, if you win them both, instead of 7/1, you collect 3/1...i repeat, those odds differ depending on where you've bet, i believe the lowest odds given would be, instead of 5/1, you'd get 2/1.
And we were doing so well.... what the heck did you just say? pretend I don't know about it, cause I don't.

a "bet"--just one game, win/lose, right? I grasp the point spread (x,y) concept now. I thought I understood bet too, but clearly I don't.

I think I also get p/q--the ratio of winnings to bets, right?
