Sorry Punta. Sometimes I use the American vernacular without thinking it may be called something different down under. Usually I try to use both ways of saying it, if I know the Aussie version. And I see that Karla called our "point spread" a point start. Same thing. We also don't usually put the amount of money you lay or take with said point start because, in American foots, it is almost always -11/10 on a win play on either side, regardless of the "line", "spread", or "start". One of the more popular wagers on NFL, is the parlay. Two teams, both must win, pays back 3-1, but must pay -120 if either loses. I don't like them, but lots of players do.
