What this tool calculates
This calculator applies the standard definition used for basketball point spread. It keeps gross return, profit, probability, and settlement concepts separate where relevant.
Adjusted margin = selected team score margin + spread; positive wins, zero pushes, negative loses.
Results are informational. Markets, deductions, void rules, and settlement practices can vary by operator and jurisdiction.
Worked example
A selected team winning by 7 points with a −4.5 spread has an adjusted margin of +2.5, so a 100-unit bet at 1.91 returns 191 units.
