Have you ever been on Betway, ready to place a bet, and seen a "7+" next to a team's name? It can be confusing at first, but it's actually quite simple. In sports betting, "7+" is a type of point spread. It's a way for bookmakers to make a match between two unequal teams more even.

A "+7" spread means the team is the underdog. They can either win the game, or lose by 6 points or less, and your bet will still win. A "-7" spread means the team is the favorite. They must win by 8 points or more for your bet to be successful.

What Does +7 Mean in Betway?

When you see a "+7" next to a team's name on Betway, it means they are the underdog. This is the team that is expected to lose the match. To make the bet more interesting, Betway gives the underdog a "head start" of 7 points.

This means that for your bet to win, the underdog team can either:

• Win the game outright
• Draw the game
• Lose the game by 6 points or less

I remember the first time I bet on a +7 spread. I was betting on a rugby match, and the team I backed was a huge underdog. They ended up losing the match, but only by 3 points. I was so excited when I saw that my bet had won! It's a great way to make a game more exciting, even if you think you know who is going to win.

What Does -7 Mean in Betway?

On the other hand, a "-7" spread is given to the team that is the favorite to win. This means that they are expected to win the match by a large margin. To win a bet on a -7 spread, the favorite team must win the match by 8 points or more.

If the favorite team wins by exactly 7 points, the bet is a "push," and your stake is refunded. If they win by 6 points or less, or if they lose the match, your bet will lose.

I learned this the hard way once. I bet on a basketball team that was a -7 favorite. They were a much better team and I was sure they would win easily. They did win, but only by 5 points. I was so disappointed to lose my bet, but it was a good lesson to learn.
