College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, colleges, and military academies. It was the venue through which American football first gained popularity in the United States. College football remains extremely popular today among students, alumni, and other fans of the sport. According to "Bill Stern's Favorite Football Stories" (1948), the most people ever to attend a college football game was 114,000, for the Army-Navy game in 1926. It ended in darkness, in a 21-21 tie.

College football increased in popularity through the remainder of the 19th century. It also became increasingly violent. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt threatened to ban the sport following a series of player deaths from injuries suffered during games. The response to this was the formation of what became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which set rules governing the sport. One of the resulting rule changes was the introduction of the forward pass. Another was the banning of "mass momentum" plays (many of which, like the infamous "flying wedge", were sometimes literally deadly).

Unlike the early years of college football, the upper echelons of the college football are now dominated by public schools. First-tier conferences are mainly made up of flagship public schools from each state.

How the CFB Odds work?

Like in the case of NFL, Moneylines and point spread are the most popular odds for College Football. The College Football Betting Lines and NCAA Football Betting Lines are displayed with the same format than NFL Football odds and both follow the same rules.

For example: a typical pointspread odd for College Footbal is LSU Tigers (-2) vs. Ohio State Bobcats (+1). In parenthesis appears the college football pointspread. In this case, when the game is over, 2 points are subtracted from Tigers' score and 1 point is added to the Bobcats' score. In sports wagering terms, this ajusted score is the final score. So, for example if the game finish with a score of LSU Tigers 25 - Ohio Bobcats 20, for betting purposes, we subtract 2 points from Tigers and add 1 point to Bobcats and the final score would be Tigers - 23, Bobcats - 21. If you bet on Tigers to win, you win the bet. In some cases is possible that the final score ajusted by the point spread, makes winner the team that loses the match. This would happen if in our case the game finish with a score of LSU 21 - Ohio State 20, the final score ajusted will be Tigers 19 - Bobcats 21 and if you bet on Tigers to win, you lose the bet even though Tigers won the game.

A moneyline odd example would be: LSU Tigers -145 vs. Ohio State Bobcats +160. This means that if you bet on Tigers, you will risk $145 for win only $100. If you place a wager of $100 on Bobcats, you win $160 if the Bobcats won the game.

For wagering purposes, winners and losers are determined by the final score (including overtime), provided that the game has gone at least 55 minutes.

If a game is suspended after 55 minutes and not resumed the same day, then regardless of whether the game is completed at a later date, the score when the game is halted will determine the betting results.

If the game is suspended before the completion of 55 minutes and not resumed the same day, all bets will be scored as "no action" and the money will be refunded to the customer's account.

College Football Betting

These college football betting odds are what the public bets into each week during the college football season. The job of the college football betting oddsmaker is to put out betting lines that will attract action on both sides of the game.

College football betting oddsmaking is a lot of numbers and statistics but it is also partly a feel. A good college football betting oddsmaker will be able to see which way the public is likely to bet and make his odds accordingly. That does not always mean the line will be perfectly balanced as it should be. The line will probably be shaded toward the favorite in many instances because the public usually bets the favorite.

Parlays: A parlay is a bet in which you select 2 to 8 teams or totals. All selections must win or tie in order to win the wager. If any of the selections lose, your wager loses, regardless of the outcome or cancellation of the other games. If one or more selections is a tie, postponed, incomplete, cancelled or rescheduled for another day, then the wager reverts to the next lowest number. Calcule your winnings in our Parlay Calculator.

Teasers: A teaser allows the bettor to combine his bets on two or more different games. The bettor can adjust the point spreads for the two games, but realizes a lower return on the bets in the event of a win. Calcule your winnings in our Teaser Calculator.
