How To Bet On The Arizona Wildcats
When you select the College Football or NCAAF link on online sportsbooks, a list of all future games will be displayed. For instance, on the Unibet Arizona app, the odds for a Wildcats game might appear as follows:
- Arizona Wildcats +2.5 with odds of -110, money line +155, Over 52.5 with odds of -110.
- BYU Cougars -2.5 with odds of -110, money line of -175, under 52.5 with odds of -110.
Next to the names of the two teams, from left to right, you’ll find the odds for the three main pregame bets: spread, moneyline, and totals. These three bet types are popular for college football games, but they’re not the only ways to join in the fun. Let’s explore all the prime betting methods for the Wildcats and NCAAF at large.
Moneyline Betting
A moneyline bet in sports betting is pretty straightforward. It’s basically about predicting which team will win the game. However, if you accurately guess that the underdog will win, the payout is larger compared to if you accurately predict the favorite’s victory.
The moneyline bet is quite easy and direct: if you correctly predict the winner, you win. The odds are negative for favorites and positive for underdogs, with the difference in numbers indicating the anticipated closeness of the game.
- Arizona Wildcats +155
- BYU Cougars -175
The odds indicate the amount you can anticipate returning on winning bets. For negative odds, it means you need to bet that amount to win $100, for example, betting $175 at -175. Conversely, when the odds are positive, it signifies the amount you would win on a $100 bet – for instance, winning $155 at odds of +155.
Spread Betting
Oddsmakers set a spread for each college football game, essentially equalizing the competition between the two sides. This also adds a layer of intrigue for betting purposes. Here’s an example of how a spread bet might be displayed on the BetRivers Arizona mobile app:
- Arizona Wildcats +2.5 (-110)
- BYU Cougars -2.5 (-110)
You have the option to select the favorite, subtracting the points, or the underdog, adding the spread. To secure a win, the team you choose must cover the spread. For instance, BYU would cover by securing a victory with a margin of three points or more. On the other hand, Arizona would cover by either losing with a deficit of 2 points or less, or by winning outright.
Totals Betting
The total points, also known as the over/under, disregards the winner or victory margin. The key factor is the cumulative score of both teams in the game.
Oddsmakers are responsible for setting the estimated amount, which bettors can then opt to bet Over or Under. This is why Totals bets are often called Over/Unders.
- Over 52.5 (-110)
- Under 52.5 (-110)
In our example, those betting on an Over result hope for a score of 53 points or above, while those betting on Under would be satisfied with a score of 52 points or lower. The totals in college football can settle into specific ranges: scores of 40 and below are seen in low-scoring games, 55 and above indicate potential high-scoring games, while all other scores fall in between.
Wildcats Prop Betting
Prop bets offer extra betting opportunities on distinct games. You can uncover available options by clicking on game listings. Prop bets can be centered around the entire game or focus on individual players and teams.
Certain jurisdictions with legal betting have implemented specific limitations on proposition betting for college sports. We’ll need to await the final regulations to understand the specifics in Arizona. If this betting style is fully approved, you may encounter examples like:
- Who will accumulate more passing yards in the game – Arizona or Arizona State?
- Will a defensive or special teams TD be scored in the game – Yes/No?
