When it says Illinios +2.5 you add 2.5 points to Illinois real score. So Illinois lost 62-60 in real life but when you add the 2.5 that gambling line Illinios wins 62.5-62.

K to you bro. That was the explanation i was looking for!
That makes sense.

How is the original 2.5 derived. This "penalty" if you will.
Also what does the (13) Indiana...IL ( 7). Rank?

 

[PolfaJelfa]

we have half points to avoid a "tie"
if Indiana was faovred by just two this game would have ended a tie and all karma would be returned with no winners

Thx brolly!
