Ah, college football. Its one of the most anticipated sports season among sports bettors. If you are like most sports bettors, the words college football parlay makes you salivate. Step into any Las Vegas sportsbook on Saturday during the college football season and you will see lines of people frantically filling out hopefully soon-to-be winning college football parlay cards.

At many sportsbooks, ties win on their parlay cards. The Internet has really opened things up. Now you can shop around for the best parlay card ratesand you better shop. Many sportsbooks have adopted a standard rate, but theres usually 1 or 2 thats different. Of course, the real reason to shop around is the point spread. In college football, its possible to save a couple points (sometimes moredepending on how large the spread is) by shopping around.

Just what are your odds of actually hitting a college football parlay card? As you might know, your odds increase with the number of teams selected. In my opinion, theres no reason to play a two-team parlay card. You are better betting both games straight up. Therefore, I am going to start with a three team parlay card and give you the probability of winning.
