How does the line get made?
A handicapper is a person that has a great knowledge of the teams and players involved their statistics, and any other pertinent data. He uses this information to predict ideal betting scenarios at regular and price per head sportsbooks.
The point spread is the handicapper’s prediction of what number will be required to split the wagering evenly on both teams, and not by the margin of victory as some believe. Once set, an individual sportsbook may move off this number based on their action, but not by much as the number is fairly universal.
Move over Governor Chris Christie; you have now been knocked off of your pay per head sportsbook soap box. You’re not the only state wanting to set up a price per head sports service.
