2. Point Spread: the handicap created for the game. The +/- number indicates the number of points a team is favored or the underdog. For example, if a team is -2, they have to win by more than 2 points to win the bet.
3. Total: the total points scored in the game by each team, you have the ability to bet the under or the over.

By selecting one of the options, you can then choose the amount of money you want to wager and place your bet. There is a message that displays that indicates if you make multiple bets, they aren’t made as parlays.
