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.

Sometimes you’ll see teams like Alabama beat some tiny school 100-0 in an early season warm-up, but there’s none of that this year. The not-so-good teams are playing each other, which means shutouts aren’t too much of a concern.
Memphis can get a safety, field goal, touchdown — whatever. As long as the Tigers score, you win $100.
All you have to do is:
- Click this link
- Deposit at least $20
- Bet $20 on the Memphis spread or moneyline
As long as Memphis scores, you win. Plus, if your original $20 bet wins, you’ll win that money, too.
Note: We’ve used Memphis as an example here, but you can take advantage of this promo by choosing any college team this week!
It’s shaping up to be a strange college football season, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a profitable one. Get your CFB year off to a strong start and boost that bankroll by triple digits.
