	Spread betting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spread betting is a form of gambling on the outcome of any event where the more accurate the gamble, the more is won and conversely the less accurate the more is lost.
		Example: In a football match between Liverpool and Everton the spread for corners is 12-13, the index firm believes there will be 12 or 13 corners in total during the match.
		The mathematical analysis of spreads and spread betting is a large and growing subject.

	Point spread function (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		neglecting the azimuthal point spread, it is found that the PSF width as a function of distance from the projection of the optical axis varies approximately parabolicly as can be seen in Figure 5.8.
		Since the point spread function varies from small in the centre of the image, to a few pixels along the edges, it would be necessary to calculate the smearing effect of the point spread function with a two-dimensional convolution pixel by pixel.
		The effect of the point spread is to smooth and widen the image of sharp and narrow structures.

	Points Unknown - Why you will watch the Super Bowl. By Joe Queenan
		The point spread--the amount by which one team is expected to beat the other team--is a miraculous device that turns thousands upon thousands of utterly meaningless sporting events into must-see TV for millions and millions of Americans.
		A point spread this huge declares that, in the eyes of the bookies, the Patriots are overmatched clowns who have no chance of winning the Super Bowl.
		Here, it is worth noting that the point spread serves not only as an indispensable diversion from the pressures of marriage, but as a metaphor for that beleaguered condition.

	GIS/EM4 - The spatial normalisation of SPOT images using Point Spread Functions
		This method is based on estimating the point spread function (the response of the imaging system to a point object on the ground) of the overall imaging device.
		The optical point spread function, PSF(x-u, y-v), describes the intensity as a function of position (x,y) in the focal plane arising from a point source with its geometrical image at the point (u,v) in the focal plane.
		The line spread function is the profile of a line object along the normal direction, as opposed to the point spread function which is the profile of a point object.

	Point Spread Wagers
		With point spread bets, The team wagered on must win by the point spread given at the time of the sports wager.
		This handicap is known as the point spread, and is sometimes called the line or price.
		If a team has a greater number of points after the point spread has been factored into its final score, the sports bet is said to have covered the spread.

		In a spread bet, the team perceived to have less of a chance of winning will have points added to their score and the team expected to win will have the same number of points subtracted from their score.
		Those points are known as the point spread, and are sometimes called the line or the price.

		The image of each point source seen in the microscope is formed by the constructive and destructive interference of light waves that leave the rear aperture of an objective in a finite-tube microscope or the tube lens (instead of the objective rear aperture) in an infinity-corrected microscope.
		At the intermediate image plane, the point spread function yields an asymmetrical distribution where the intensity ratio between the central peak and surrounding rings is shifted with the latter becoming far more prominent.
		In Figure 2, the change in intensity distribution, illustrated as computed point spread functions at the intermediate image plane, is shown with increasing penetration into an aqueous medium with a plan apochromat oil immersion objective.

		College and NFL point spreads are set by sportsbooks in Las Vegas, the only place in the U.S. where sports gambling is legal.
		The purpose of the point spread is to make a bet on either team attractive so that the action will be close to even and the sportsbook will make a guaranteed profit on the "vigorish," or service charge it collects on each bet -- usually 9-10%.
		NFL point spreads tend to be much lower, in the 3- to 6-point range.

		A Point Spread is the number of points added to or subtracted from a team's actual score for betting purposes.

		Daniel Gibson had 16 points and Brad Buckman chipped in 14 for Texas (4-0), which survived a scare from West Virginia on Monday night and won its fourth straight to open the season.

		That would be as close as Iowa would get the rest of the way, though, as the Longhorns knocked down their free throws in the waning moments to seal the win.

	Point Spread Function Tests
		This spatial redistribution function (the so-called point spread function, or PSF) is a combination of the HRMA PSF and the ACIS instrument's pixelization and detection efficiency.
		Point Spread Function (PSF) tests measure the core (PI) and wings (PW) of the PSF on-axis and at several off-axis positions, at the point of ideal focus determined by the Shutter focus/Plate focus measurements (X=0).
		Two types of data were collected: the core PSF were done by counting single photon arrivals in the core of the PSF; the wings PSF were done with higher fluxes, which produces photon mode in the wings but photons arrive so rapidly that multiple photons are superposed in the core.

	TheStreet.com: What's the Point (Spread) of Banning Wagering on College Sports in Nevada?
		Aside from the illegal bookmakers and organized crime, the chief "beneficiary" under the bill will be the NCAA, which will not have to worry about having to deal with point-shaving scandals, not because they will not happen, but because the only reliable mechanism for rooting out the point-shaving will have been eliminated.
		Instead, as has been true for more than 50 years, point-shaving scandals occasionally will occur, gambling on college campuses will continue, and point spreads will be set and disseminated on college football and basketball games, whether that dissemination is through newspapers or over the Internet.

		For the PSPC, the PSF model adopted, its physical justification and the data sets used in the PSF estimation, ground calibration data and in-flight data, are described in a series of three articles [Hasinger et al.1992], [Hasinger et al.1993], and [Hasinger et al.1994].
		In the case of the WFC, the point spread function will be defined differently; the one-parameter family of circles will be replaced by a certain one-parameter family of ellipses.

		Therefore we had to introduce the "wobble-mode", a slight and periodic reorientation of the pointing direction in order to avoid that point sources were obstructed by the support-grid structures of the detector entrance windows.
		During the pointed phase of the mission, a slight blurring due to residuals of the wobble-correction could not be avoided.
