UK +1.5 tmmrw

This is what it opened at and hasn’t moved.

Sportsbooks calculate odds by putting the amount that will need to be paid out to the amount of money that all bettors have paid. The sportsbooks try to keep both sides as even as possible.
They use terms like 'favorite_ and 'undrdog', but not it the context we generally use those terms.
Over the course of a week, a team could move from the favorite to the underdog with out anything else happening but an unequal distribution of bets.

Right but this spread came out 24 hours ago and hasn’t moved.

On FanDuel it did move to UCLA -2.5 (-103). UK +2.5 (-118) this morning around 7:15. It came back down to -1.5 UCLA (-118).

No it doesn't. It simply means they have the same number ($ amount) of bets on either side
Different services can have different lines, and if the line hasn't moved It only means they got it close to how the betting would be distributed from the start. There is knowledge of the matchup that goes into setting that number, but more so is the knowledge of how people bet on those games.
The moneyline is a better indicator of who is favored.

You're talking about how the line moves based on betting. The question that was asked was "what does the +/- mean. When the line was set, prior to any betting, it meant UCLA was favored by 1.5 points. Thats how it shakes out based on the math, which is based on each teams previous games and their competition.

Yes, bettors move the line, but that's a different convo.

We need this game. I’m going with the Cats by 5.

I see UCLA -2.0 now. Seems gamblers are putting money that way (I'm not a gambler aside from a friendly game of Hold 'Em now and then).

Easy money takes UCLA on this one. Cal can’t coach and always chokes against top teams. We lose by 10

I’ve got it as Arkansas -8.5 on a neutral court. How many points do you think Arkansas gains playing in Little Rock? Think it’s good for 2 or 3?

I’ve got it St. John’s -10 on a neutral court. Might give FSU a point or two for playing close to home but -6 isn’t large enough.

A scary team if they get hot it will be a 15 to 20 point win. The old three pointer will heal ya or kill ya.

As of 6:06 p.m., EST ... the line is up to U.K. +2.5.
