    Default A question about sportsbook?

    I'm rather new at betting. what does it mean when it says KC covers. Also I saw KC wins outright. What do these mean? I'm thinking that KC covers means that they won but it was close; and KC wins outright means that there is no way the other team could of caught up them.
    Anybody?

    New Orleans is favored by 5.5 points. If they win by 5 points or less then the Chiefs cover, if the win by 6 or more then the Chiefs do not cover. It means cover the spread.

    KC wins outright means the Chiefs win the game even though New Orleans was the favorite.

    The only reason a beer sweats around Canada is because he's decided it will be the next beer he drinks.

    She had to get you out for a minute to sneak the Mailman out the back door.

    The 49ers own my heart, but the Chiefs will always hold a better than neutral spot for giving my favorite player a place to leave with grace...

    The "house" always wins baby. You may get one or two, but over the long haul the casinos make a profit. Oh and the sportsbook around here has historically left one or two solid value bets. If you watch each week you can find them.
