They donāt know the associative property in Vegas? Should be Charlotte -16.[/quote]
Iāve never soundly understood the ā+ and -ā in the sports lines, so I had to look it up right quickā¦
As a rule, all sports lines with a ā-ā sign before the number next to a teamās name indicate the favorite, while all lines with a ā+ā sign indicate the underdog in the match.
To make things easier to understand and convert, whenever you see a negative sign, consider reading that line in relation with 100 first. For instance, a line of -200 means that for every $200 you wager, in the event of a win you get to collect $100. When the sports line is expressed using the + sign (which indicates the underdog), all you have to do is reverse the reading; taking the same example above as reference and provided that this time it is the underdog that wins, for every $100 you wager you get to collect $200.

Thatās true, and Iām not sure if youāre referring to truninersfanās post, but the +14 is just the points. Vegas thinks weāll lose by 14, so you can take Charlotte to cover (getting the points) which means that you think we lose by less than 14 or win, or you can take Richmond to cover (giving the points) which means you think theyāll win by more than 14 points. Like I said, not sure if that is what you were trying to figure out, just thought I would clarify.
I learned a long time ago to never bet on the Niners or your favorite team in any sport for that matter; it has been hard enough for me to watch some games without feeling the urge to kick a box of defenseless kittens especially when money is on the line. However (+14) is a bit out there and a very very tempting bet indeedā¦
Stop Harper and we have a game. If we let Harper shoot his season average for 3ās (51%), our zone will break down and it will be the Harper and Anderson show all night.
