Point Spread Bets

The point spread is one of the more common ways to bet on the Illinois Fighting Illini. When oddsmakers give points to the matchup underdog, it helps them create a more balanced betting market. This is particularly important when two mismatched teams compete against each other. As a result, it’s often cheaper to bet on a point spread favorite than a moneyline favorite. The Illinois Fighting Illini will be favorites when their point spread line has a minus sign “-” before the number. They’ll be underdogs when the line has a plus sign “+” before the number.

The odds follow the point spread line. Standard betting odds are -110. That means you’ll risk $110 to win $100. Sometimes, the odds might be higher or lower depending on the betting action for or against the Fighting Illini. In most cases, you’ll see odds for each side range from -105 to -115.

Moneyline Bets

Pick either the favorite or the underdog team to win. Unlike the point spread, you’re simply picking the outright winner. The moneyline bet is the easiest wager to understand by far. However, always compare point spread vs moneyline payouts. Sometimes, it can be more profitable to bet Illinois when they’re a moneyline underdog, especially if you think they’ll win the game outright.

Moneyline favorites have a minus sign “-” before their number. This number indicates how much you risk to win $100. For example, if the Fighting Illini are -185 favorites, you would risk $185 to win $100. When the Fighting Illini are overwhelming favorites, you may see their moneyline value exceed -600.

Moneyline underdogs have a plus sign “+” before their number. This number indicates how much you win if you risk $100. If Illinois is a +150 underdog, you would risk $100 to win $150. If the Fighting Illini are big underdogs, their moneyline might be +500 or more.

Betting an obvious favorite to win isn’t always a good idea, even if it’s for the Fighting Illini to win the game. Betting big moneyline favorites means you risk a large portion of your bankroll for a relatively small profit. A safe Illinois wager isn’t always the best wager. Sometimes it’s more economical to bet the point spread instead. When you’re considering a wager on the Illinois Fighting Illini or their opponents, always be sure to keep all your options open.

Total Bets

Decide whether the sum of both teams’ final scores will be over or under the sportsbook’s total line.

Over will be abbreviated as “o” and under will be abbreviated as “u”. Look for each side’s odds to the right of each letter. Most often, both sides will have -110 standard odds, though sometimes the exact odds values may vary. Less often, the odds could be under or above -110, most commonly ranging from -105 to -115.

With total bets, you must consider the ability of the Fighting Illini and their opponent to put points on the board. Carefully determine whether the game will be a battle between two hard-charging offenses, or a slower-paced affair between two defensive powerhouses.

High-scoring games will typically get higher total lines and more expensive over odds. This contrasts to lower-scoring games, which will get lower total lines and more expensive under odds.
