Question 1

How to Use OddsJam’s College Football Odds Comparison Tool

Accepted Answer

The importance of getting the best odds on your NCAAF bets cannot be overstated. <0>Line shopping is a strategy used by bettors to find the sportsbook that is offering them the best odds on the bet they want to make. OddsJam has the best <1>odds comparison tool on the market. We process over 1 MILLION odds per minute from every major sportsbook in the United States. This means we have the most up-to-date, real-time odds to help you make sure you not only get the best odds on your bet but also spot discrepancies between different sportsbooks moving their odds early or late. In College Football, getting the best line can be the difference between winning and losing your money and/or your bet. Let’s say you want to bet on the Ohio State Buckeyes to beat the Oregon Ducks. One sportsbook has their moneyline odds at -675, another has them at -650. One bet requires you to bet $675 to win $100, while the other only requires you to bet $650 to win $100. To be a profitable sports bettor over time you must be getting the best odds available to you. Let’s say you want to bet the Buckeyes point spread against the Ducks. One sportsbook has them at -14, and another has them at -15. If the Buckeyes win by 14 points you would have pushed at the first sportsbook, but lost at the second. Line shopping is important across every bet type including <2>Totals or Over/Unders, <3>Player Props, Game Props, <4>Futures, and more! OddsJam is here to make sure you always get the best odds or number on your bets. Profitable sports bettors know the value in checking lines across all sportsbooks available to you, and having accounts at each so that you can always bet at the sportsbook offering you the best odds.

Question 2

How to Read College Football Moneylines

Accepted Answer

NCAAF moneylines are an extremely simple concept to understand but can be a little more complicated to read. A moneyline bet is simply a bet on the winner of a game or match. Let’s say there’s a matchup between the Utah Utes and the Stanford Cardinal. The moneyline odds for the Utes are -400 and the moneyline odds for Stanford are +310. This means you would need to bet $400 on Utah to win $100, while a $100 bet on Stanford would net you $310 profit if they were to win.

Question 3

How to Read College Football Point Spreads

Accepted Answer

NCAAF point spreads can be difficult to understand as they are not as straightforward as the moneyline. However, they are a bit more simple to understand when it comes to the odds. Rather than use the odds themselves to try and even out the incentive to bet on either team, they define a margin of victory (or defeat) with much more palatable (and less juiced) odds. In the same Utah vs Stanford example, Utah would be 10.5 point favorites (or -10.5) - meaning they have to win the game by 11 or more for the bet to win. Stanford would be 10.5 point underdogs (or +10.5) - meaning they need to lose by 10 or less or win outright for the bet to win. Typically point spread odds will most frequently be -110 on either side ($110 bet to win $100), however, they can “juice” the odds one way or the other to incentivize bettors to bet on one side or the other instead of just <0>moving the actual point spread line.

Question 4

How to Read College Football Over/Unders or Totals

Accepted Answer

Who doesn’t love points in a College Football game? The Total or Over/Under is a bet on the combined total score of an NCAAF game. The Over/Under in the Utes vs Cardinals example above is 51.5 points. This means that if Utah wins 41-26 (67 points), the Over will win. If they win 24-14 (38 points) the Under will win. Typically Total odds will most frequently be -110 on either side ($110 bet to win $100), however, they can “juice” the odds one way or the other to incentivize bettors to bet on one side or the other instead of just moving the actual Over/Under line.

Question 5

What are College Football Futures Bets?

Accepted Answer

Futures bets, unlike all the other types of bets outlined here, are not based on the outcome of a single game, but on an entire season. These are bets that often have long odds, but are a fun way to keep a rooting interest throughout an entire season, as well as buy low on certain teams or players. Examples of College Football futures bets would be betting on a team to win the College Football Playoff National Championship, or their conference like the Big 10, Big 12, ACC, SEC, etc. You can also bet on season-ending awards, Heisman trophy winner, Defensive Player of the Year, and more!
