what the gambling terminology means when they say Straight, The Spread, and the Over plus or Minus a certain number?
In: Economics
The previous 2 comments are wrong about what Straight betting means. What they’re describing is a “Moneyline” bet: the team you bet on wins, you win. All a “straight” bet means is that it’s by itself and not combined with anything. It’s the opposite of a “parlay”.
