What was the money line on the USC Stanford game?

Answer 1

I doubt there was a money line on the 'SC-Stanford game, but if there had been, it would have been about 100 to 1.

The spread was 40 and 1/2 points.

Bookies will establish the moneyline (aka odds) to attract equivalent money on each side so a 4 to 1 favorite would attract $4 for each $1 bet on the underdog.

That said, the spread will be off by 40 or more points about once every 50 -75 games. It's rare, but not extraordinary. For example, Utah beat the spread by 50 in its win over UCLA -- its just that UCLA wasn't the No. 2 team in the nation and wasn't favored by 40+ points.

To be off by 40+ on the Stanford side (as opposed to the SC side) should occur one-half as much or once every 100-150 games. Therefore, if the moneyline followed the true odds, the moneyline would have been some place around 100-1.

SC just had the bad luck of facing an underrated Stanford team and having really bad day (a once in a decade bad day) at the office.

Answer 2

Since the point spread was +40, you would get 40/1 odds on your money, so in this case, every dollar you put on Stanford would pay you a $40 return. In essence, if you bet $10 on Stanford, you got paid $400. If you bet $100 on Stanford, you got paid $4000, etc.

Answer 3

there was no money line for this game. however, whoever kitchens is, they are totally wrong. just because a spread is 40 points, that doesnt mean that the odds are 40 - 1. that would have meant the money line would have been +4000 for stanford. i have never seen a money line for a football game that is that much. and i doubt that anybody else has either. dont listen to this clown. he needs to know what hes talking about before answering.
