My son wants +23 points as that was the season-ending margin.
I'm thinking Everton approves a bit this season, and Spurs should stay about the same, or even regress a few points. Thinking +18 is a more reasonable spread.
Any thoughts on what the proper number should be?
Guess it depends on the point of the bet. If it is to have a fun sweat and something to banter and bond over with your son, then +23 seems fine. If the objective is to find the best possible means to take the kid's money, then by all means, line shop away.
