In all the playoff games this year, how often had the spread played a factor?
Over the years, I’ve started to realize the spread doesn’t really matter. What I mean is if a team (Miami tonight +8.5) will either get the ML win or they would lose the +8.5. This is interesting because there would be so much more value taking the ml verse the spread on dogs. And more value taking the spread verse the high ml on favorites.
The only game I can think of off the top of my head is the warriors vs Memphis game 1. Spread was -2 and warriors won by -1 I believe.
A lot of people get the spread confused. They believe Vegas thinks x team will win by -6. When the reality is, the spread is all about trying to get even money amounts on each side. As we know, so many factors play a Part in establishing the line but I’m realizing the spread usually doesn’t play a factor based on outcomes.
