Betting on the Cyclones

The Cyclones have some tough matchups remaining in the season, so be sure to pay close attention to the odds. Here are some of the popular bet types that you can make on the Cyclones if you live in a legal sports betting state.

• Moneyline
• Point Spread
• Over/Under
• Props
• Futures Odds

Iowa State Moneyline

A moneyline bet requires a bettor to correctly pick the winner of the game. If you pick the winner of the game correctly, you will win the bet. How much you win will be determined by your wager amount and the associated moneyline for the team you bet on. Here's an example using a recent ISU game against Oklahoma State.

• OSU -170 moneyline
• ISU +145 moneyline

OSU is the favored team to win this game, which is indicated by the minus sign (-) next to their moneyline. ISU is the underdog denoted by the plus sign (+) next to their moneyline. The moneyline number signifies the potential payout for each team. Someone betting on OSU would have to bet $170 to win $100 whereas a bettor would win $145 with a wager of $100 on ISU.

Iowa State Point Spread

Users can also place a point spread wager on the Cyclones. This requires a bettor to correctly select the margin of victory by a particular team, rather than simply who wins. Here's the same ISU vs. OSU matchup as an example.

• OSU -3.5 (-110)
• ISU +3.5 (-110)

Oddsmakers set a margin of victory total known as the spread. In this game, OSU has to win by four or more points to beat this spread and ISU either has to win the game outright or lose by three points or less to beat the spread. Point spreads also have an additional element known as juice, or the vig, which is the tax paid to the sportsbook for each bet. The juice is indicated next to the point spread. This number is used to determine a wager payout. For a bet on ISU, a bettor would earn a profit of $100 for every $110 risked. Someone betting on OSU would earn a profit of $100 for every $110 risked.

Iowa State Over/Unders

Betting on over/under totals looks at the cumulative final score between two teams, not the winner or loser of the game. Bettors are required to accurately predict if the teams combine higher or lower than a number set by oddsmakers. Oddsmakers set the over/under total for OSU vs. ISU at 127.5 points.

• Over 127.5 points (-110)
• Under 127.5 points (-110)

Again, juice or vig comes into play with over/unders. Betting over 127.5 points means in this case that a bettor would have to wager $110 to earn $100. Betting under 127.5 points would mean a bettor would earn $100 for every $110 risked.

Iowa State Prop Bets

For those ISU fans that have a particular favorite player, prop bets are a great way to show your support. Oddsmakers will also set lines on player statistics. Bettors then have the opportunity to guess whether those players will go over or under the set line to win money. Some popular prop bets include how many points a player will score, who will score first, how many rebounds a player gets, and many more.

Iowa State Future Odds

If you like ISU’s odds to make the Final Four or win the NCAA Tournament, take a look at futures odds . A futures bet is wager for an event happening in the later in the season. Because a futures bet can be really hard to predict, the payouts are much higher than a typical wager. The Cyclones are currently +3734 to make the Final Four and +20000 to win the NCAA Tournament (odds via PointsBet Sportsbook) – check out our PointsBet Promo Code page and sign up with ACTION2K1 to claim $2,200 in risk-free bets.
