Wohoo go Cowboys to cover the spread at home in a rivalry game.

Let's go Texans. I think that +9 spread is a bit high. I look for a 38-35 game or something like that.

For example, the Colts Texans game.

Colts: -9
That means they're favored by nine points. To win the bet, you have to have them win by more than 9 points; to push, they must win by exactly 9.

Texans: +9
They are a 9 point underdog. Betting them means that you win if they lose by LESS than 9 points OR they win by any number of points.

.95 is the share that you get if the bet is right....say you bet 100 for the Texans and they win, multiply 100 by .95 and you get 95 points added to your total...plus I think you get to keep the 100 you bet...am I correct on that?

LOL it would be bad if you didn't get to keep your 100 you would never make anything

Yes If you bet 100 on something and you were right you would get back 195
