You can think of a dispersion as a handicap, something that shall add or detract points from a team final score such that both teams are back on equal terms.

A common term used in betting is -110 and this translates to an attempt of risking $110 to win another $100. Hence, when you approach a bookmaker, you give him the $110 and place your bet. In return, you get a receipt and if you win, you are entitled to get back $210 from the bookie. This 210 contains 100 extra that you won because you put up 110 as a bet. If the team you placed a bet on lost then your receipt is worthless. Furthermore, if you are unable to produce a receipt then you get nothing.

The moment you place your foot inside the bookmaker office you shall find a large display board showing numbers on each team. These numbers might not give you any info at first but do not be alarmed. As you move around and see them, each one shall make some sense to you. Moreover, if you practice enough, you can even spot those numbers that are out of place on the board.

If you closely look at all the listings you will see that teams are grouped together into pairs depending on who is playing whom. Furthermore, the last team is always the home side by convention. One team shall have numbers listed to its right and the other shall have numbers to the left.

Left numbers shall appear to be larger than the right numbers such as 40.3 to 3.5 and this signifies totals for the match with the dispersion value to the right. No team shall however have two numbers, on both sides. As a better, you are expected to understand that each number signifies something and their meaning.

If you find a team with numbers printed to the right side then understand that this is the team that is deemed stronger in the pairing. The dispersion value is usually shown without its negative sign simply because the boards are made to show more data. Now, when a team is sporting a number on the left side, it is because the team is deemed to be the undergo in the match. This makes sure that better can understand which team is the stronger one of the two.

When betting on any team, the factors to consider are its dispersion value, its status and the total. Knowing that a team is the underdog means that if you win, you get a lot of money. And with the other two values, you can calculate your loss or profit.

Betting with college football picks against the spread is a more educated process than blind betting in the dark. At least, you are aware of the odds, understand the numbers game. The chances of losing a lot of money is reduced here only if one makes educated guesses.
