Texas Longhorns Odds

Texas Longhorns 2021-22 Season

While Texas is notorious for its football, the Longhorns have long represented the state well in college basketball as well. Texas has missed just seven NCAA Tournaments since 1989 and made the Final Four in 2003. Last season’s team was bounced in the first round, but the effort is clearly still there.

This year’s team is off to a great start with new head coach Chris Beard running the show. At No. 20 in the country, the Longhorns could potentially secure a Top 5 seed for the upcoming Madness.

Take a look at our college basketball odds to see how the Longhorns fare in the coming weeks.

Betting on the Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns 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 Longhorns if you live in a legal sports betting state.

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

Texas 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 Texas game against Baylor.

• Baylor -240 moneyline
• Texas +195 moneyline

Baylor is the favored team to win this game, which is indicated by the minus sign (-) next to their moneyline. Texas 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 Baylor would have to bet $240 to win $100 whereas a bettor would win $195 with a wager of $100 on Texas .

Texas Point Spread

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

• Baylor -5.5 (-110)
• Texas +5.5 (-110)

Oddsmakers set a margin of victory total known as the spread. In this game, Baylor has to win by 6 or more points to beat this spread and Texas either has to win the game outright or lose by 5 points 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 Baylor, a bettor would earn a profit of $100 for every $110 risked. Someone betting on Texas would earn a profit of $100 for every $110 risked.

Texas 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 Baylor vs. Texas at 131 points.

• Over 131 points (-110)
• Under 131 points (-110)

Again, juice or vig comes into play with over/unders. Betting over 131 points means in this case that a bettor would have to wager $110 to earn $100. Betting under 131 points would mean a bettor would earn $100 for every $110 risked.

Texas Prop Bets

For those Texas 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.

Texas Future Odds

If you like Texas’ 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 Longhorns are currently +1100 to make the Final Four and +5000 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.

How to Bet on Texas

Sports betting is not currently legal in Texas, and there does not seem to be much in the way of progress for it to be legalized in 2022. Texas politicians have been largely opposed to sports betting in recent years, but sentiment within the state could be shifting. Most expect that any potential legislation could be voted on in the 2023 state general election at the earliest. Stay tuned for updates on The Action Network's Texas betting page regarding sports betting legislation in the state.
