College football has returned, and while the games aren't exactly top tier yet, everyone is plenty excited to watch Saturday's game of the night: Arkansas State vs. Memphis.
One problem is that the moneyline is outrageous, with Memphis coming in as a -1115 favorite … for most bettors, that is. Not for anyone who takes advantage of DraftKings' Happy Hour, though.
Instead of -1115, bet Memphis at +500!

As nearly three-touchdown favorites, most bettors will likely be staying away from Memphis' moneyline. It takes a lot of money risked to get anything substantial in return.

So just how much money would it take to win $125 on Memphis' moneyline normally? One thousand, three hundred, eighty eight dollars and ninety cents.
$1,388.90.
I think $25 is slightly more affordable to the average person and will not result in financial ruin if Arkansas State pulls off the upset.

Meanwhile, a $25 bet on the normal -1115 odds would typically win only $2.25. Not exactly a lucrative endeavor.
So are you trying to make some big money on an insane odds boost to start off your college football betting season or not?!
