what does sides mean

when showing our stats , what does sides mean ?

When you hear someone using the term “side” or “sides” they are referring to the two teams playing against each other in a particular game or event. The simplest example I can give you is if you are looking at an NHL game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Vegas Golden Knights. If someone says they are playing a “side” in this game, it means they have a bet on one of these two teams to win the game. In terms of standard types of betting, people will refer to betting sides or betting totals – which we all know is a play on the “over/under” on a game.

I am learning too. I am a Programmer/Mathematician. Don't really know sports too well.

A side will refer to the outcome of a game based on selecting a team. Whether it is a spread or it is the money line/straight up, people will refer to themselves as picking a side.
