    How to bet same amount on each game?

    This seems impossible with all the different spreads.
    Is there a calculator that will let me put down $10 on each game and be able to win that same amount?

    Was about to make fun of you for that question but realized I was in the Newbie forum and since no one has given you an answer and I'm sure I've asked questions close to this bad in forums where I am a newbie and know Jack Sheit, I guess it's my turn to answer.

    You need to clarify your question because it's not clear what your asking but I'll take a shot.

    The spread is the points spread which is different than the price which I think you are asking about. But to clarify - An example of the point spread in basketball is the Heat -6 or in football Raiders +11. In the Heat example the Heat need to win by 7 points for you to win your bet; if they win by 6 you push and by 5 or less you lose. In the football example the Raiders can lose by up to 10 points and you will win your bet, if they lose by 11 you push and by more than 11 you lose.

    The price (what I think you were asking about) is the amount you are paying for that point spread. Example: Heat -6 -110 This means with a -110 price you are betting $110 to win $100 or $11 to win $10. A -120 price means you are betting $120 to win $100 or $12 to win $10. A +110 price means you are betting $100 to win $110 or $10 to win $11, etc. etc.

    For basketball & football you can bet the main point spread and typically get a -110 price (obviously some fluctuation in this price but I'm keeping this very simple) but in other sports like baseball, soccer and hockey you are typically betting the Money Line and not a points spread this is mainly due to points/goals being at much more of a premium in these sports and thus they adjust the money line, not the points spread, for favorites and underdogs.

    If you are wanting to risk only $10 with each wager regardless of what the price is then most sportsbooks have a setting where you can indicate the amount you are putting in for your wager is the amount risked not the amount to win. If you set it up this way you could put in $10 for each wager and you would be risking only $10 for each wager but the price on each wager will determine how much you win on your $10 bet. Betting $10 on the standard -110 price will win you $9.09.
