Lazy multimillionaire athletes doing the bare minimum to win vs underdog teams is basically the same as losing if you bet on a mismatch game, they have to win by X over underdogs

If the odds are like 99:1 with an awesome team up against the worst team in the league, sports betting sites dont even bother offering bets

So they offer a "covered spread" to get the odds back to 50:50 or so where they say "Will the D1 team comprised of the avengers triumph by at least X points over this TTT team?"

If the lazy millionaires limp over the finish line and dont CRUSH the TTT = noone makes any money & the goyim start talking about "the spread!"

but why do they care? If your team wins, why do you give a shit about the spread?

I’m assume he’s talking about people who don’t bet but nonetheless refer to the spread when speaking about outcomes of sports. The obvious answer is that it’s a general benchmark to overperforming or underperforming.
