South Florida is +375, so that same $100 bet would win you $375 if the Bulls pulled off the upset. Sounds nice on paper, but much harder for it to happen. Spread: Because moneyline bets are so juiced to either side, football mostly uses the spread. The spread is a plus or minus point value given to each team.
This is the breakdown from last season: 133 times the favorite won the game and covered the spread. 97 times the underdog won the game outright. 39...

Odds and figures based on August 27, 2019, for current odds visit The Action Network. Each week I write a betting preview on the Badger game analyzing the spread and over/under. In addition, I write a weekly column of five games that I like on my personal site that has done pretty well over the past two seasons. Betting is easy lingo to me, but I realized that in these posts not everyone know’s what these terms mean. If you’re new to the sports betting world, it can be daunting. Walking into a sports book and seeing all the numbers can be intimidating. But fear not, I have some tips and tricks to help you out!

Read More »For example, the Badgers are -13.5 against South Florida. That means, if you want to bet the Badgers, they need to win by 14 points or more in order for you to win your bet. With the odds being -110, a 100 dollar bet would net you $90.91. Much more profitable in the long run than the moneyline. South Florida is +13.5 in this scenario, meaning they can lose the game outright but still cover the spread if they lose by less than 14 points. The odds are the same, so your $100 bet would still bring home $90.91. This allows you to play a favorite and make more money should they cover, or play an underdog and have the flexibility to lose the game but still win the bet. Over/Under: Say you’re in a situation where you don’t like either side of the spread but still want some action on the game. No problem, just turn to the total. The total means the amount of points scored by both teams combined. Oddsmakers set the number, with odds, and you choose whether the score will equal more than that, or less. For example, Wisconsin @ South Florida’s total is set at 58. If you want to play the under, you’ll hope that the combined score is less than 58 points. If it’s 59, you lose and the over wins. If its 57, you win. If its 58 you push, meaning each side gets their bet back. A tie essentially. Most sportsbooks pulled the Colts off the board as soon word spread that Andrew Luck was retiring. One that didn’t? The Borgata in Atlantic City. One bettor made $1,300 in bets on the Colts under 9.5 wins — including one bet 20 minutes after the news hit. pic.twitter.com/9UI9iqthyX — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) August 25, 2019 The total allows you to watch the game without having to root for one particular team. Most people love overs, as that generally means a lot of points. For example Hawaii-Arizona’s total was set at 71. A 45-38 game covered that over easily. I personally love the opposite, and play a lot of unders. Especially in the Big Ten. (Editor’s note: punts, baby!) That should be enough to get you started. However, if you’re new to sports betting take a few tips from Ol’ Uncle Tyler to help you avoid some of the bumps and bruises you get when first starting out.

Read More »Take it slow: There is such a thing as beginner’s luck, and it grabs you. You’re winning bets and you think wow this is easy. You bet more games, every game you can find, and keep winning. But slowly it catches up. If you’re betting every single game, next thing you know you’re down money from where you started. It’s a sucky feeling. So take it slow, and find the bets that you really like. If you lose, fine! Try again next time. Don’t double down on the game after just because you want to get back to even. Often times you’ll end up doing more harm than good. Relax: When you’re on a win streak, things can be fun. BUT, when you’re on a losing streak things can get bleak. Understand that these happen all the time. A bettor only has to win 54% of the time to break a profit. Good bettors, also known as sharps, win only 59-64% of the time and would consider that a great season. I hit at 62% last year and was ecstatic. There will be ups and downs. Don’t let it get to you. Be responsible: Betting is supposed to be fun. The best piece of advice I can give is to only bet money you’re comfortable losing. If you’re worried about next month’s rent, don’t throw down $200 bets. Throw a $20, or a $10, or a $5 if that’s all you’re comfortable with. Nobody cares what you win or lose, as long as it isn’t stressing you in your outside life. So be smart, have fun, and make some cash this fall. Oh, and lastly, don’t pay for “expert” picks. All the research and numbers you need are out there for free, you can do it yourself if you’re willing to put the time in. I give out my picks free to prove that point. The so called experts are just trying to get your money. Save it, or bet it!
