We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. To bet on basketball, tell the ticket writer the bet number of the team you wish to bet, with the point spread, and the amount you wish to wager. The payout, unless stated otherwise, is figured at odds of 10/11. This means that a wager of $11 would win $10 and return $21. This is called a straight bet.

National Championship betting: Money line (ML)

The money line simply asks for which team will win the game and includes the possibility of overtime.

Favored Alabama has an implied win probability of 75% with -300 money line odds. Those odds can also be expressed as a fraction of 1/3 or a decimal of 1.33. It would take a $300 bet for a profit of $100 with a win by the Crimson Tide.

Underdog Ohio State’s +240 money line odds represent an implied win probability of 29.41%. The fractional odds are 12/5 with 3.40 decimal odds. A $100 bet would return a profit of $240 with an upset win.

National Championship betting: Against the spread (ATS)

The spread of 8.5 points carries equal -110 odds for both teams ($110 bet for $100 profit). Alabama will need to win by at least 9 points. Ohio State can cover its side of the spread by winning outright or staying within 8 points in a loss.

Alternate spreads exist for each half or exclusively the first quarter. The spread can be altered from 10.5 to 21.5 to make the result more or less likely for either team. The higher the probability, the lower the odds will be for a potential payout.

Increasing the degree of difficulty with a spread of -10 for Alabama to win by at least 11 points comes with more profitable odds of +100 or even-money. An Alabama win by exactly 10 points would result in a push and all bets on either side would be refunded in full.

National Championship betting: Over/Under (O/U)

How to better yourself

The Over/Under of 75.5 asks whether the final score of the game would combine to be higher or lower than 75.5 points. Any combined score of 76 or more points (i.e., 40-36) would be a win for Over bettors. A combined score of 75 or fewer points (i.e., 38-37) would be a win for Under bettors.

Just like the spread, alternate lines are available and each team’s individual point total can be bet separately.

National Championship betting: Prop bets

Props are available in the form of Yes/No questions such as “Will there be a safety in the game?” or “Will the game go into overtime?”

These can offer much higher odds on one side or the other, but remember, the more profitable the odds, the lower the probability of that result.

National Championship betting: Live betting

BetMGM has an excellent mobile sports betting app which allows users to place bets once the game is underway. Following along and placing a bet after a big play or an injury can offer great value when disagreeing with the sportsbook’s lines.

A pregame favorite such as Alabama can suddenly come with more profitable odds if Ohio State happens to jump out to the early lead.
