Conversely, someone who bets on the Bulldogs to cover the spread is betting that Mississippi will either lose by three points or less, or win. If Kentucky wins but the margin of victory is smaller than 3.5 points, your bet will lose. Since Kentucky is a -3.5 point favorite according to the point spread, they will need to win by a minimum of 4 points in order to cover the spread. Working with the above example, let's say you place a point spread bet on Kentucky in their game against the Bulldogs. Must be present in KY and 18+ to participate.
