West Virginia Mountaineers Odds

West Virginia 2021-22 Season

Coach Bob Huggins and the West Virginia Mountaineers are not having the season they wanted. They’re currently ninth in the Big 12 standing and are set to take on Kansas State in the Big 12 tournament.

They’re not projected to make the NCAA Tournament, but a Big 12 tournament win would change that.

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

Betting on the Mountaineers

The Mountaineers 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 Mountaineers if you live in a legal sports betting state.

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

West Virginia 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 WVU game against Kansas State.

• WVU -175 moneyline
• KSU +140 moneyline

WVU is the favored team to win this game, which is indicated by the minus sign (-) next to their moneyline. KSU 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 WVU would have to bet $175 to win $100 whereas a bettor would win $140 with a wager of $100 on KSU.

West Virginia Point Spread

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

• KSU -3.5 (-110)
• WVU +3.5 (-110)

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

West Virginia 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 WVU vs. KSU at 135 points.

• Over 135 points (-108)
• Under 135 points (-110)

Again, juice or vig comes into play with over/unders. Betting over 135 points means in this case that a bettor would have to wager $108 to earn $100. Betting under 135 points would mean a bettor would earn $100 for every $110 risked.

West Virginia Prop Bets

For those WVU 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.

West Virginia Future Odds

If you like WVU’s 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 Mountaineers are currently +9500 to make the Final Four and +20000 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 West Virginia

It didn’t take long for West Virginia sports bettors to be taken home following the landmark Supreme Court decision to strike down PASPA. In August 2020 — less than three and a half months after the federal sports betting ban was lifted — West Virginia began accepting legal wagers in the Mountaineer state.
