What are the NCAA Football Money Line Betting?

Question

I am new to the football betting and would be soon betting on NCAA Football, I want to know what is NCAA Football Money Line Betting. Please explain this college football betting type as I have no idea about it.

Answer 1

Money line bets are essentially straight bets with no point spread. So, the odds are based directly on the matchup itself. If one team is a heavy favorite to win, they will have much lower odds than the underdog.

For example, the same Florida vs Tennessee game which was listed at -6/+6 on the point spread with 11/10 odds, will have a money line something like -180 for Florida and +160 for Tennessee. This means that to win $100 on Florida, you’d have to wager $180. On the other hand, you could bet $100 to win $160 on Tennessee.

Money line bets are based on $100 bets, just for simplicity. Any odds listed with a – means that is the wager amount required to win $100. A -200 would require a $200 bet to win $100 in profit, for a total return of $300. Any odds with a + means that is the amount to win from a $100 wager. A +200 would require a $100 bet to win $200, for a $300 return.

Bets do not have to be placed in $100 increments, and most online sportsbooks have minimum wager amounts ranging from $1 – $5.
