Ball State Cardinals Win Total Odds
The college football win total bet is a part prop, part future hybrid. The plus and minus values assign odds to either side of Ball State’s win total line. This bet functions like a total bet. Bet either over or under the sportsbook’s line.
“o” stands for over and “u” stands for under. Bet over if you think the Cardinals will win more games than the value of the line. Bet under if you think they’ll win fewer games.

Point Spread Bets
The point spread is by far one of the best ways to bet on Ball State. The Ball State Cardinals will be the favorite when their point spread line has a minus sign “-” before the number. They’ll be the underdog when the line has a plus sign “+” before the number.
Each side’s odds will be to the right of the point spread line. Standard betting odds are -110. That means you’ll risk $110 to win $100. Odds for any particular pairing may be higher or lower depending on the betting action for or against the Cardinals.
Total Bets
Decide whether the sum of both teams’ final scores will be over or under the sportsbook’s total line. You win if you chose the correct result.
Each side of the line will have its own odds. For most total bets, both sides will have -110 standard odds. Over will be abbreviated as “o” and under will be abbreviated as “u”. Each side’s odds will be to the right of the letter abbreviation at most sports betting sites.
We caution you about being cavalier when betting on any total involving the Ball State Cardinals. You must consider Ball State’s and their opponent’s point scoring abilities. Decide whether the game will be a fast paced affair between two powerhouse offenses, or a low-scoring sleeper between two defensive juggernauts.
Games sportsbooks anticipate to be high-scoring will get higher total lines and more expensive over odds. On the flip side, a game that’s anticipated to be lower-scoring will get lower total lines and more expensive under odds more often than not.
Moneyline Bets
The moneyline is a quick and easy way to bet on Ball State or their opponent. Pick either the favorite or the underdog to win. Taking Ball State on the moneyline when they’re a big underdog can sometimes be more profitable than a point spread bet if you’re confident the Cardinals can win outright.
Moneyline favorites have a minus sign “-” before their number. This number indicates how much you risk to win $100. If the Cardinals are -150 favorites, you would risk $150 to win $100. When the Cardinals are overwhelming favorites, you may see their moneyline value exceed -700. Note that the game’s point spread line and moneyline odds are closely correlated.
Moneyline underdogs have a plus sign “+” before their number. This number indicates how much you win if you risk $100. That means if Ball State is a +550 underdog, you would risk $100 to win $550. When the Cardinals are a big underdog, their moneyline might be +850 or more.
Sometimes betting a big moneyline favorite isn’t such a great idea, even if it’s for the Cardinals to win. Betting on a big favorite means you’ll tie up a large amount of bankroll for a comparatively small profit. In these instances, betting the point spread might be a better option.
