The Heisman Trophy Odds betting market focuses on individual players that bettors can wager on prior to the college football season and also throughout the season as players compete on the field.
Players are given odds next to their names and bettors will receive the return based on those numbers.
Example: CJ Carr +800
A $100 bet on CJ Carr would return $900 (8 x $100 + $100) for the bettor, $100 for the original stake and $800 for the winning wager.
