Syracuse basketball betting lines explained
Most Syracuse basketball game lines you’ll find at places like DraftKings and FanDuel will look a lot like this:
| Spread | Moneyline | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Syracuse | +3.5 (-110) | +132 | Over 139.5 (-110) |
| Duke | -3.5 (-110) | -154 | Under 139.5 (-110) |
The spread is that first number with the odds in parentheses. This line means Duke has to win by four points or more to cover, but the Orange can win outright, or lose by three points or fewer to cover the spread. According to these odds, both bets pay $100, plus your bet back, for every $110 that you wager.
The second number is the moneyline. This is the line for betting on either team to win the game outright, with no spread. Moneyline bets on the Orange (underdog) pay $132, plus your bet back, for every $100 that you wager. Moneyline bets on the favored Blue Devils pay $100, plus your bet back, for every $154 that you bet.
Finally, the third number is the total line, with the odds in parentheses. This is the line for the total combined score by both teams. You bet whether it’ll be over or under 139.5. According to these odds, both bets pay $100, plus your bet back, for every $110 that you wager.
