If the "spread" is Dallas over Washington by 3, and during the game Dallas is ahead by more than 3 points, then they are "covering the spread" and making good on that bet.
Points are a racket designed to make money for the house...

Cover The Spread
2016-10-05 01:47:25 · answer #3 · answered by lesiak 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
The people who make the "odds" in betting, research which team is the best and how many points they are favored to win the game by...If they think one team will score 10 and the other 5, they try to make betting on each team even, so they give the lower scoring the amount of points they feel would make the two teams even. Then when you bet the team gets minus some points if they're favored and plus some points if they think the team is the underdog. Therefore, cover the spread means you have to take the minus or plus points into account.

The team that covers the spread has come within the odds. For example: Team A is favored by 4 over Team B. For Team A to cover the spread they must win by more than 4 points. For Team B to cover the spread they must win or lose by less than 4 points. If team A wins 21-14 (a 7 point victory) they have covered the 4 point spread. But if they win 24-21 they did not cover the spread because they only won by 3.

It's a betting term.
If one team is favored by 7 for example.( That means that if point spread is greater than 7. you will win or lose depending who you bet on.)Let's say the final score is 20 to 17 the spread is 3. and you bet on the team who was favored they did not cover the spread.
