@AGGLA for sure! in betting you have two teams - favourites and underdogs.
favourites = team expected to win
underdogs = team expected to lose
favourites have a negative value (-)
underdogs have a positive value (+)
so A saying Buccaneers (Bucs) is a 10-point favourite means they are expected to win (favourite) (-)
to win a bet, you have to win at least the number of points shown so for people betting on Bucs, Bucs have to win with at least 10 points more than the other team. thats where 10-point comes from
does that make sense? ask if you have questions

@AGGLA ok i think i understand! B is saying Bucs might need to win two games for A to start thinking properly (because A asked a question that B thinks is silly)
theyre talking in terms of betting but im not really sure because the context is not clear ๐

@custardpudding Oh! I'm so sorry, I thought you answered my another question.๐ญ Sorry..!
They're watching a baseall-like game and A is a big fan of Bucs. So I think you're right, the're talking about betting. So can you explain what 10-point favorite means?๐

@custardpudding I really appreciated your kindness.๐ญ
Then people bet the favourite team will win at least 10 point (like 40 vs 30)?
