While the NHL standings, the NBA and the upcoming MLB season is taking the spotlight as the NFL season has just ended, it is never too early to start thinking about next season in football, but not for the NFL. The college football season offers as much excitement as their professional counterparts and you may want to get in on some betting action. But do you know what a moneyline is? We’ll sort it out for you.

A moneyline is actually very simple and even though most football betting is done on the spread, you can make a profit if you wager on moneylines as well. You have two sides when you’re betting on the moneyline: the favorite, which is shown by a positive symbol, and the underdog, which is shown by a negative symbol (this will also come in handy if you’re a college fan that is betting March Madness odds). For example, you could see Florida State at -150 and Florida at +130 in one of the biggest rivalries in sports, and this is what it means: you would have to bet $150 to win $100 on the favored Seminoles, but you would get $130 for a $100 bet on the Gators.

That is all there is to moneyline betting, which makes it simple for casual players to get involved in the game as they’re only wagering on the outcome and not a point spread, which has caused many a bad beat.
