Sports Marketplace
Like any marketplace, a buy and seller agree on a price, in this case a "point spread".  But knowing the "point spread" is only half the picture. Understanding the forces affecting the "point spread' movement, i.e. the volume of bets,  the percentage of bets on the home team, and the percentage of bets on the away team, is essential to determining the true value of any "point spread".
