HOW WE RUN IT

How chromabet Handles NFL Spread Markets

Lines From Market Consensus

Our NFL spreads are set against the market consensus across major US sportsbook pricing, so the number you see reflects real sharp-money movement, not an arbitrary internal figure.

Grading Within Minutes

Spread bets are graded using official NFL final scores. Most tickets settle within minutes of the final whistle — you can see the result update in your open-bets tab in real time.

Half-Point Lines Available

We post both standard and half-point spreads on marquee NFL matchups, giving you the choice to pay a slightly adjusted price to eliminate the possibility of a push on key numbers like 3 and 7.

State Eligibility Applies

NFL spread betting on chromabet is available where state law permits. Your account dashboard shows only the markets accessible in your eligible state at the time you log in.

chromabet What You're Actually Betting When You Take the Spread

What You're Actually Betting When You Take the Spread

A point spread levels the playing field between two mismatched NFL teams. If the Kansas City Chiefs open at -6.5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, they must win by seven or more for a spread bet on them to cash. Take the Raiders at +6.5, and they just need to lose by fewer than seven — or win outright. At chromabet, spread

lines for NFL games are posted as early as Sunday night for the following week, and you can track line movement directly from your account on mobile or desktop. Standard juice on most NFL spread tickets runs -110 on both sides, meaning you risk $110 to net $100. A push — where the margin of victory lands exactly on the number —

returns your original stake with no win or loss recorded. Half-point spreads eliminate the push entirely, which is why oddsmakers frequently set lines like -6.5 or +3.5.

NFL Point Spread Terms You Need to Know

What does 'cover the spread' mean?

A team covers the spread when it wins by more than the posted number (favorite) or loses by less than the posted number (underdog). Covering is how a spread bet cashes.

What is the juice or vig on a spread bet?

Juice — also called vig — is the sportsbook's built-in margin. Standard NFL spread juice is -110, meaning you wager $110 to profit $100 on a winning ticket.

What is a push in point spread betting?

A push happens when the final margin equals the spread exactly. No winner is declared; your stake is returned in full and the bet is voided from your account history.

What does ATS mean?

ATS stands for 'against the spread.' An NFL team's ATS record tracks how often they cover the posted spread, separate from their straight win-loss record on the season.

What is a key number in NFL betting?

Key numbers are the margins NFL games most commonly end on — 3 and 7 are the most important. Getting or laying a half-point at these numbers can decide whether a bet wins, pushes, or loses.

What is a hook in spread betting?

A hook is the half-point added to a spread line, such as -3.5. It eliminates the push risk on key numbers and is sometimes called buying or selling the hook when you adjust the line.

Common Questions About NFL Point Spread Betting

We typically open the following week's NFL spread markets on Sunday evening after late games conclude. Lines are visible in your account as soon as the market goes live, and you can track movement through kickoff.

Yes. You can combine a game's spread with other markets — player props, totals, moneyline — into a single same-game parlay ticket. Each leg must be from the same NFL game, and standard correlated-market rules apply.

If an NFL game is officially postponed and does not complete within the sportsbook's settlement window, your spread ticket is voided and your stake is returned to your account balance automatically.

In-game spread markets are available on select NFL matchups. Lines adjust continuously based on score, possession and time remaining. You'll see live spread options under the game card once the game kicks off, where state law permits.

A negative spread — like -4.5 — means that team is the favorite and must win by five or more points for your bet to cash. Players in Newark and elsewhere across eligible states see this format on every ticket in the account.

Yes. A spread bet requires the favorite to win by a specific margin. A moneyline bet simply requires your team to win the game outright, with the odds adjusted to reflect each side's actual win probability.
