Other than the point spread, the over/under (or “total”) is the most common bet. Sportsbooks set a line for combined points by both teams and bettors can wager whether the final score will be over or under that total.
There are also moneyline bets, which removes the point spread but changes the odds on each team.
A $100 bet on UCLA would return $250 if the Bruins won straight up. Arizona bettors would have to lay $280 to win $100, but the Wildcats would only have to win the game and not cover a point spread.
