How The NBA Point Spread Works
The NBA point spread rep­re­sents the deter­min­ing fac­tor in wager­ing on NBA games. The point spread is set by the mas­ter odd­s­mak­ers from Las Vegas . After fac­tor­ing in all vari­ables that could affect the out­come of a con­test, they deter­mine the dif­fer­ence in abil­i­ties between oppos­ing forces. This may seem like an easy process, but odd­s­mak­ers spend decades hon­ing their craft. The NBA point spread is one of the key ingre­di­ents in the sports­book of casino par­lors that keep the wheels of the sports gam­bling indus­try churn­ing away. A mis­cal­cu­la­tion of any sig­nif­i­cance in the set­ting of an NBA point spread could cost casino host com­pa­nies untold mil­lions of dol­lars.
The NBA point spread is a vari­able line indi­cat­ing the dif­fer­ences in abil­i­ties of two dis­tinct com­pet­ing forces. In order to explain this con­cept fur­ther, let us use a bet­ting exam­ple of an NBA exhi­bi­tion game. The odd­s­mak­ers have made the NY Knicks a 4 point favorite over the New Jer­sey Nets at the Knicks home court, Madi­son Square Gar­den. The casino par­lors sports­book action is steady, and the major­ity of the action on this NBA point spread is on the Nets. The odd­s­mak­ers observe this trend and they drop the point spread to 3. At game time, the NBA point spread is again low­ered to 2 points. The odd­s­mak­ers attempt to increase the amount of money bet on the Knicks so that the final bal­ance is 50%-50% or there­abouts.
NBA bet­ting is big busi­ness, and the NBA point spread is one of the most pop­u­lar plays in the sports­book of casino par­lors. A reli­able source for NBA point spreads online is Lines­Maker Sportsbook.
