College football betting had become very popular for college students - After all, who wouldn't want to show some school spirit while enjoying an all-American football game and earn some good cash. It had also been popular for adult bettors around the US who bet online. However, most people who use this service are usually first timers and are not really well-versed in the art of betting for college football games, or even in any sports matches. Here is a quick look into the fundamentals of college football betting. Take note so that you can welcome the possibility of earning while enjoying your favorite college football games.

In college football betting there are three different kinds of odds. These odds are called the side, the money line and the total. The money line odd is the simplest and easiest to understand. This odd is betting on who you think will win the match. For example, in an NCAA game between the University of Texas Longhorns and the Troy University Trojans, the money line might tell Trojans -500 and Longhorns +550. If you think the Longhorns will win, you can bet $100 and then make a a $550 profit.

On the other hand, if you think the Colts will win, you can bet $500 to win $100. Betting on the side, meanwhile, will make the lines maker, or the person who sets the odds for betting, give the stronger team a handicap. This will balance the two teams in the betting. As with the example above, with the Trojans and the Longhorns meeting in an NCAA game, the lines maker may put 11 points to the Trojans, making them more superior to the Longhorns.

If you bet -11 on the Longhorns, you will get -110 odds. However, you will only win if the Trojans lose by more than 11 points. If the Trojans have a more than 10 point victory, or if they lose the game, all bets on +11 Longhorns will be the winners. If the Trojans win the game by exactly 11 points, the game will be referred as a "push," all of the bets will then be returned to the bettors. Lastly, the total is a bet on the total combined points by both sides in a particular game.

In the Trojans vs. Longhorns game, if the lines maker decides that the total will be at 51 and you think the total score will be lower, you can bet on the "under." If you think otherwise, you can bet on the "over". A "push" also occurs when you bet on the same line was set to exactly the final total and as betting on the side, bets will be are refunded. Information on college football betting lines is readily available on the internet. It is advised however, that, as in any form of gambling, one should take extra caution when betting. Bet when you have the extra money and be on it to earn cash, not to find the thrill of risking.

Sometimes, the thrill of risking and winning has been proven to be more addictive than actually winning money. That is why many bettors do risky bets. But remember that if you are a beginner, you should play safe. Stick with these tips I have given you above and you should learn how to control, when the bets are against you. Enjoy college football betting!
