You win, they take nothing
You lose, they take 10%

Don't do any 'sucker bets' no matter what anyone says ie parlays and teasers.

Need to win 53% of the time(it's actually 52.something), but whatever you're doing probably doesn't need to get that specific.

Don't know your situation, but if you're asking these questions, you don't need to be betting. There's a lot more to it than toy likely think. I generally go 70% during bowl season on my own picks, but I gave up gambling years ago. My advice is do something more worthwhile with your money and I speak from a lot of experience.

I have been betting college football for 10 years. I have had bookies do it both ways and most websites take take out of winnings.

Just curious what everyone else has experienced. FWIW, last year I went 63% on college football.
