Spreads and odds are constantly moving on line. The chargers Texans line has been bouncing between La -3 -102 and La -2.5 -120. I guess the answer mathematically is does a team win my exactly 3 points 18% of the time?!
In essence you are paying 18 bps to win on LA winning by exactly 3 points. If you have LA -3 and LA wins by 3 it’s a push so no cash changes hands but -2.5 is a winner. If LA wins by 2 or less or losses straight up your bet is a loser regardless. If LA wins by 4 or more both wagers are a winner. You understand now?
