Rules for each market may vary between spread betting firms, especially for markets where points are allocated for specific events, so always ensure you fully understand the rules of a market before placing a bet.

Supremacy

The spread represents the points margin by which one team is expected to beat the other. The team listed in the spread is considered to be the favourite.

For example, 'Miami Dolphins 11-14' indicates that the Miami Dolphins are expected to beat their opponents by 11 to 14 points. If Miami Dolphins lose, the make up will be negative.

Team Performance

Points are awarded for winning, drawing, scoring touchdowns, kicks at goal and sacking the opposing quarterback. Points are deducted for missed kicks, and turnovers. The points allocated may vay from one spread bet firm to another.

e.g.

Win = 25 points
Touchdown = 15 points

Total Touchdown Yardage

Player Supremacy

The spread represents the supremacy of one player over another during a match.

For example two quarterbacks are measured according to the difference in their net passing yardage, while for two running backs it is their rushing yardage that counts. A quarterback's passing yards could be negative as any sackings will count as yards lost.

If there is just one touchdown, then the scorer is awarded 50 points.
