What does all of this mean? It's like a foreign language.

Odds of 13-10? The hell does that even mean?

Bet 100 on OU to win straight up pays you 425 so u get 525 back

Bet 550 on LSU to win straight up u win a 100 and get 650 back


Lsu is a 13pt favorite
76 is the over/under total


LSU is a slight fav to win it all over Clemson

The spread says that LSU wins by 13. You can bet either side of that. If you bet LSU, they must win by more than 13. If you bet OU, they can win outright or lose by no more than 13. If LSU wins by 13, it's a wash and you get your money back. Dealer takes 10% usually. Bet $110 to win your money back and $100.

The +/- is outright winner. Bet $100 to win money back plus $425 if OU wins. Bet $550 to win money back plus $100 if LSU wins.

LSU is favored to win by 13 points.

The -550 means if you bet the game straight up without using the point spread, you have to bet $550 to win $100 (I think)

13-10 odds to win the NC means if you place a $10 bet on LSU to win the NC, you win $13.

Just place your bet, you win more when you don't understand the rules

Trying to figure out if a 13-10 odd is better than a 5-2. Isn't mathematically that the same thing?

Not even close.

Best $10 to win $13 is a 30% profit.

Bet $2 to win $5 is 150% profit.

-13 means LSU is favored. In terms of betting.. Thing of it as if Oklahoma starts the game off up 13 points. If at the end of the game LSU wins 13-0 then it would be like a tie, which would be a push.

If you bet LSU -13 then they have to win by 14 or more points for you to win the bet.

If you bet Oklahoma +13 then they have to either lose by less than 13 points or win in other to win the bet.

ML is the money line. Oklahoma +425 means you have to bet $100 to win $425.. And Oklahoma would have to win straight up.

-550 means you have to bet $550 to win $100;

- is the favorite
+ is the dog.

And total 76 is the over/under. You are betting as to whether or not you think less than or more than 76 points TOTAL will be scored.

5/2 you’re betting $20 to win $50 or $10 to win $25

I'd advice you to not make sports bets.

Lol

Try dividing 10/13, and then 5/2, see what outcomes you get. One is 1.3:1, the other is 2.5:1
