Ah, college football. It’s one of the most anticipated sports
season among sports bettors. If you are like most sports
bettors, the words college football parlay makes you salivate.
Step into any Las Vegas sportsbook on Saturday during the
college football season and you will see lines of people
frantically filling out hopefully soon-to-be winning college
football parlay cards.
At many sportsbooks, ties win on their parlay cards. The
Internet has really opened things up. Now you can shop around
for the best parlay card rates—and you better shop. Many
sportsbooks have adopted a standard rate, but there’s usually
1
or 2 that’s different. Of course, the real reason to shop
around
is the point spread. In college football, it’s possible to
save
a couple points (sometimes more—depending on how large the
spread is) by shopping around.
Just what are your odds of actually hitting a college football
parlay card? As you might know, your odds increase with the
number of teams selected. In my opinion, there’s no reason to
play a two-team parlay card. You are better betting both games
straight up. Therefore, I am going to start with a three team
parlay card and give you the probability of winning.
College Football Parlay Card Probabilities
3 Team College Football Parlay Card: 1 in 8
4 Team College Football Parlay Card: 1 in 16
5 Team College Football Parlay Card: 1 in 32
6 Team College Football Parlay Card: 1 in 64
7 Team College Football Parlay Card: 1 in 128
8 Team College Football Parlay Card: 1 in 256
9 Team College Football Parlay Card: 1 in 512
10 Team College Football Parlay Card: 1 in 1024
Your best parlay card is the three-team parlay. Most sports
books will pay 6-1 for a winner, which is just slightly less
than the true odds. The higher you go, the larger the
difference between the payout and the true odds. Of course,
you
won’t be thinking about true odds when you bag a nice ten-team
parlay card. It’s quite the rush.
If you have never played a parlay card, it’s time you start.
Don’t miss out on one of the most exciting thing to do during
the college football season. Make it a point to put in at
least
one parlay card—a three-team parlay card to start. Now, get
out
there and win some money on college football.
