There wasn't a single 4 point favorite in the NFL season and playoffs that landed on the favorite winning by 4.

4 is much less of a key number than 2, but people are quick to buy/sell off of 2 (either ML or 3) but not 4. There is so much psychology in how people bet that is not based on facts or math.

Thank you for taking the time to walk through the formulas. Awesome stuff¡ when you look at playing ALTERNATIVE SPREADS, i.e Rams -7.5, -10.5, etc. do you follow the same process to identify what price you¡¯d be willing to pay? Thanks, it¡¯s been said but echoing the appreciation for your insight¡??

How about 6 being more of a key number than 7?
That actually blows my mind.

Good stuff thanks, Not having read this thread before betting, I played 4 points Rams win 24-20 because it paid +10,000. 4 almost won, except Somehow the holder flubbed a perfect snap for a Rams extra point in first half. Of course a million other things could have messed it up.
I don't know what 23-20 paid but I also had Rams 27-20 which was like +1500, guessing 23-20 was similar.

Thanks for this. I was interested enough now that I have some time to look at the games this season...two of your 11 were preseason games, and of the 9 remaining, six were games with the favorites winning by exactly 4 (2%). As you said, the spread had nothing to do with these games; five of the six were huge favorites failing to cover a big spread. The outlier was Raiders-Broncos, Dec. 26, 17-13 with Raiders a PK.

Three of the six were huge faves, two were narrow faves. Eagles won by 4 as a 6-point favorite, as did the Chargers.
