How to bet on UMass football

Making a bet on UMass football games is like any other football bet. The three main choices for game betting are moneylines, spreads and totals. Let’s use the following game example featuring UMass:

UMass	+7.5 (-110)	+185	Over 48.5 (-110)
Army	-7.5 (-110)	-150	Under 48.5 (-110)

UMass moneyline bet

The moneyline is a straightforward win or lose bet for a single game. In the above example, UMass are underdogs at +185 odds to win the game over Army. If you bet $100 on UMass, you would get $185 back if they win the game, plus your original bet. A $100 bet on the favored Army would net you $66.67, plus the initial bet back.

UMass spread bet

The spread means that the favorite must win a game by a certain number of points. UMass is a 7.5 point underdog for this game against Army. So if you choose the Minutemen and lose the game by seven points or fewer, or win outright, a $100 bet on UMass will pay the original bet back plus $90.91. For a bet on Army to pay the same amount, Army would need to win by eight points or more for the bet to cover the spread.

UMass totals bet

With over-under odds, you are not betting on who wins the game. Instead, you will choose whether the two teams combined will score fewer than or more than 48.5 points. The odds on over/under bets are usually equal.

UMass football props & futures odds

One of the more popular draws recently is the availability of in game betting. Many UMass football betting sites will give you odds for betting during the game. As they are live bet options, they are subject to change throughout the game. For example, say that UMass is a +150 favorite against Connecticut. If the Huskies score a touchdown on their first drive, those odds will drop, giving you better value if you believe UMass will come from behind to win.

Other FBS independent football odds include sports lines on specific player performances. You can bet on which players will score a touchdown, whether a player will record an interception or how many rushing yards a running back will rack up. Prop bets are a fun way to get inside the game with a bet on your favorite players.

Each sportsbook app has restrictions posted for college betting. Make sure you check out each sportsbook’s policies before placing a bet.
