When betting on college football or engaging in discussions about the odds of a game, you’ll often come across terms like “spread,” “moneyline,” and “over/under.” These are three of the most common types of bets. Understanding them can greatly enhance your knowledge of the betting world and make the games even more exciting.

What is it? The spread is essentially a number set by oddsmakers to give an advantage or disadvantage to teams based on their expected performance. It’s a way to make both teams equally attractive for bettors.

How it works: Let’s say the University of Kentucky is playing against Louisville, and Kentucky is favored to win by 7 points. The spread might look something like this:

If you bet on Kentucky to “cover the spread,” they need to win by more than 7 points. If Kentucky wins 28-20, you’d win the bet. However, if Kentucky wins 28-22, they haven’t “covered” because they only won by 6 points.

On the flip side, if you bet on Louisville, they either need to win outright or lose by less than 7 points for you to win the bet.

What is it? Moneyline betting is straightforward: you’re simply picking the team you think will win the game outright, with no point spread involved.

How it works: Each team will have a positive or negative number associated with it, representing the odds. Using the same example:

  • Kentucky -180
  • Louisville +160

The minus sign indicates the favorite, and the number represents how much you’d need to bet to win $100. So, a $180 bet on Kentucky would yield a $100 profit if they win.

The plus sign indicates the underdog. In this case, a $100 bet on Louisville would yield a $160 profit if they pull off the upset.

What is it? The over/under bet, often called “total,” is a wager on the combined number of points both teams will score in a game.

How it works: Oddsmakers will set a number, and you bet whether the total points scored by both teams will be over or under that number. For instance:

Over/Under: 50.5 points

If you think the combined score will be 51 or more, you’d bet the over. If you think it’ll be 50 or less, you’d bet the under.

In conclusion, understanding how college football odds work can offer more excitement when watching games and can also present opportunities to make informed decisions if you decide to place wagers. Always remember to gamble responsibly and ensure that it’s legal in your jurisdiction.
