How to Bet on College Basketball Games

College basketball betting gives you several ways to wager on each matchup. Instead of simply picking which team will win, bettors can choose from college basketball spreads, moneylines, totals, props and other markets.

Some of the most popular types of college basketball bets include:

  • Point Spread: The favorite must win by more than the listed spread for a bet on that team to cover, while the underdog can cover by winning outright or losing by fewer points than the spread.
  • Moneyline: Bet on which team will win the game outright, regardless of the final margin.
  • Over/Under: Also known as the total, this market lets you bet on whether the combined score will finish over or under a number set by the sportsbook.
  • Player Props: Wager on individual player outcomes, such as points, rebounds, and assists.
  • College Basketball Futures: Place longer-term wagers on outcomes such as the March Madness winner.

How to Read College Basketball Odds

College Basketball betting odds are generally displayed in American odds format. Positive odds indicate how much profit a $100 winning wager would return, while negative odds indicate how much would need to be wagered to make $100 in profit.

For example, a team priced at +150 on the moneyline would return $150 in profit on a winning $100 wager. A favorite priced at -150 would require a $150 wager to return $100 in profit.

College Basketball Point Spread Betting

The point spread is one of the most popular college basketball betting markets. Sportsbooks use the spread to create a handicap between the two teams rather than requiring bettors to simply choose the outright winner.

If a team is listed as a 20.5-point favorite (-20.5), it needs to win by at least 21 points to cover the spread. A bet on the 20.5-point underdog (+20.5) would win if that team wins the game outright or loses by 20 points or fewer.

college basketball Moneyline Betting

College basketball moneyline bets are wagers on the outright winner of a game. Favorites typically have negative moneyline odds, while underdogs generally have positive odds.

Because there is no point spread to cover, the only result that matters for a standard moneyline wager is which team wins the game.

College basketball Over/Under Betting

College basketball totals betting focuses on how many points the two teams will score combined.

If the over/under is set at 200.5 points, an Over bet wins if the teams combine for 201 or more points, while an Under bet wins if they combine for 200 points or fewer.

College basketball Futures Odds

College basketball futures allow bettors to wager on outcomes that will be determined later in the season. Popular college basketball futures markets include NCAA Tournament championship odds, Final Four odds, conference winner odds, regular-season conference winner odds, and season win totals.

Fanatics Sportsbook also offers futures odds on the college basketball player of the year, as well as odds for every college basketball conference - including SEC odds, ACC odds, Big 10 odds, and Big 12 odds.

Best College basketball Teams to Bet on

Some of the most popular college basketball teams to bet on include the Duke Blue Devils, Kentucky Wildcats, and North Carolina Tar Heels.

The Kansas Jayhawks, UConn Huskies, Gonzaga Bulldogs, and Michigan State Spartans are also among the most heavily bet-on college basketball teams. Check out the latest college basketball futures and team odds at Fanatics Sportsbook today.
