Oh!

The most pessimistic spread on a game market will be 2.1-2.4 And you'd get that on something like Tunisia vs Saudi Arabia

Brazil Japan you'd get a spread like 3.2-3.5

If you stick the averages like in the premiership, more common spreads are 2.4-2.7 so the mid point of it is 2.5 (or 2.55) and that should even itself accordingly. For every 4-2 there's a 0-0 and vica versa, and a lot of 2-1 games are averaged out by the 1-1's and the 2-0's

Hence I'd guess if a spread firm was completely on that, it would do a total goals market at 163 as the midpoint, and you'd bet low or high at 162-164

Bookings and Reds would be the harder market to predict the average but goals per game is usually the most consistent market going
