Ok. Line betting is designed to even out the game.

For example tonight the saints are -18.5 since they're clear favourites. So the -18.5 means to win the saints have to win by 19 or more. On Essendon's side it is +18.5 so the Bombers can lose by up to 18 points and you still win.

That make sense?
