?? Betting on Pitt Football
Betting on the University of Pittsburgh football team is very easy once you know the differences among the different bet types. If you are new to all PA online casinos and sports betting, below are a few of the main types of wagers you can place on the Pitt Panthers.
Pitt Spread
Point spread betting is the most common form of football betting, whether you’re wagering on pro or college teams. Point spreads indicate the favorite and what the point margin between the two teams is expected to be.
If you wager on Pitt with -7 spread and -110 odds, you think Pittsburgh will win by more than seven points and you must place a $110 bet to win $100. Vice versa, if the spread was +7, the Panthers would have to stay within seven points or win outright for you to win the bet.
Pitt Moneyline
If you are not certain on the margins or it feels a bit confusing, moneyline bets are a simpler way to wager on the Panthers. A moneyline bet is placed on the team you think will win the game; the favorite is marked with a minus sign, just like on the point spreads.
Pitt Over/Under
The third type of a straight bet you can place on the Panthers is total or over/under bet. This wager type lets you bet on the number of points scored in a game; is it over or under a predetermined number like 45 or 54? You don’t need to know the exact score, just whether the game will be a high or low scoring affair.
Pitt Futures
Futures are bets on future events, like the National Championship winner, ACC winner, or the Heisman Trophy winner. You can place futures on Pitt on any of the online sportsbooks in Pennsylvania, but they currently don’t have much chances of winning any of these titles.
Pitt Props
Prop bets are allowed in Pennsylvania on teams only, so no player props are available. However, bettors can bet on the first team to score or which team is leading at halftime.
