linha ajustada


Explanation:
A linha (ou seja, um número de pontos de "spread") é para ser inflada por 1, 2 ou mais pontos. Este novo número representa uma linha ajustada (com "almofada") para compensar o fator descrito no livro, ou seja, "a padded line"

"Aware of this betting bias, the handicapper supposedly inflates the line on public teams by a point or two or more. Such a padded line..."
