ATS (Against the Spread)

A bet on whether a team covers the point spread, not just wins.

ATS — against the spread — is a bet on whether a team beats the point-spread line set by the sportsbook. A favorite at −7 must win by more than 7 to cover; an underdog at +7 covers by losing by less than 7 (or winning outright). Pushes occur when the margin equals the line exactly. ATS records on LineTerminal are tracked against closing lines from DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM.
