Big win / little win
A four-way winning-margin market: each team is priced to win by a small margin or a large one, with the split usually at 12 or 13 points in the football codes. Backing “home big win” requires your team to win by more than the threshold, not merely to win.
It is the simplest of the margin markets — four outcomes rather than the seven or twelve of a full winning-margin board — which makes it the cheapest of them in hold terms. It still costs more than the plain spread on the same game.
The trap worth naming: a big-win bet is not a spread bet. On the spread you need your team to cover a number, and anything beyond it is equally good. Here you need them to land inside a band, so a blowout can lose a “little win” ticket that a spread bet would have won comfortably. Check whether the book defines the lower band as 1–12 or 1–13 before betting the threshold.
