    Why Fans Should Know Najai Hines

See All NCAAB Videos
The college basketball season starts in the fall each year after the NBA season has begun and while football season is underway. As a result, college basketball betting offers dedicated sports fans an avenue to find key value bets to make early in the season while attention and resources are focused elsewhere and college basketball teams are still establishing their baseline ratings.

College Basketball Sports Betting Terms:

  • College basketball odds move regularly due to betting action, injuries, and other factors, but monitoring the college basketball odds board is one way to make the best basketball bets possible. Here are several college basketball sports betting terms to know:

  • Alternate lines

    Many college basketball games have alternate lines, as sportsbooks post different spreads and totals with adjusted odds. For example, if a team is favored by 4.5 points, many sportsbooks will offer odds on the team to win by 3.5 or 5.5 instead.

  • American odds

    American odds are the most common odds used in college basketball, with the money line indicating the amount of money needed to win $100 (favorite) or the amount that a $100 wager would pay (underdog). This is one of the three main types of betting odds.

  • Closing line

    The final odds posted when the game begins is the closing line. The live odds will then start to shift after the game begins and will generally continue until the game is over.

  • Consensus

    The consensus line is a combination of odds from the top sportsbooks. If a team is a 4-point consensus favorite, it means that a majority of oddsmakers have the team favored by four points.

  • Decimal odds

    Decimal odds, also called European odds, are one of the other formats used to present betting odds. They represent the amount of money someone would win for every $1 wagered.

  • Favorite

    The favorite is the team expected to win the game outright. Favorites have a negative sign in front of their spread and money line odds.

  • Fractional odds

    British (fractional) odds are the final type of odds used in sports betting. They are the ratio of the profit won to the stake, as a 6-1 underdog would pay $6 for every $1 wagered.

  • Futures

    These can be some of the most interesting odds to monitor, as they relate to things such as NCAA Tournament winner or conference winner. Most sportsbooks update their futures odds on a regular basis, giving fans a chance to see how their team stacks up in the eyes of the oddsmakers.

  • Home-court advantage

    One thing that is a factor in every college basketball game not played at a neutral site is home-court advantage, which changes the odds based on which team is playing at home. Some teams have a bigger advantage than others, as their crowd noise or location can adjust the odds more significantly than others.

  • Hook

    If the betting odds have a half-point attached to them, that is called the hook. The hook makes it impossible for the betting result to end in a tie, as college basketball games do not have half-points.

  • Juice

    Also known as vigorish or vig, the juice is the amount factored into the odds by oddsmakers. An American odds bet of -110 contains $10 of juice for every $100 wagered.

  • Line movement

    College basketball odds feature line movement due to various reasons, including injuries or wagers made by professional bettors.

  • Money line

    The money line is the odds related to the winner of the game with no point spread involved. Favorites have negative odds, while underdogs have positive odds in an American odds format.

  • Oddsmaker

    Someone who sets betting odds and lines is an oddsmaker. Some oddsmakers create their own betting odds (originators), while other oddsmakers copy odds that are already in the market.

  • Over/Under

    This is one of the primary sets of odds used for college basketball betting, with the number representing the expected points scored in the game. These are also used for some futures odds, such as how many games a team will win in a season.

  • Pick ‘em

    If neither team is favored, the game is called a pick ‘em. The betting odds have not determined a favorite or an underdog, so they are usually good games to watch.

  • Spread

    The point spread levels the playing field between two teams, as it is the number of points the favorite is expected to win by. The favorite is designated by a negative spread (-7), while the underdog has a positive spread (+7).

  • Underdog

    Unless a game is a pick ‘em, every college basketball matchup has an underdog, which is the team that is expected to lose. They are denoted by a positive number in the betting odds.

FAQ:

  • What are the types of college basketball betting odds?

    The three primary types of betting odds are American (money line), fractional (British) and decimal (European). They are alternate ways of presenting the same odds, offering the same payout in each scenario. The percentage probability of an event occurring can be converted and presented in any of the odds offered.

  • How do I know which team is favored?

    Favorites are always priced with a negative sign in front of their spread or money line, while underdogs have a positive sign in front of theirs. If both teams have negative money lines, the team with the larger negative number is favored. If a team is -6.5 on the spread, they are the favorite and would need to win by at least seven points to cover the spread. Their opponent would be +6.5, needing to lose by six points or fewer (or win outright) to cover as an underdog.

  • Who sets the college basketball odds?

    Odds are originally set by oddsmakers, who are also called sports traders or bookmakers. They usually adjust their odds once bettors start wagering money. The odds can also be moved due to injuries, trades or other factors.

  • Why can I not find basketball odds for a game?

    Sportsbooks take games off the board when a star player suffers an injury, or another factor occurs. Oddsmakers usually re-post the updated line within a few hours, depending on the severity of the news. The odds are frozen so the sportsbook avoids taking large wagers on odds that are likely to change.

  • What is the total?

    This is another way to reference the over/under, which is the number of points expected to be scored in a game. If a game has an over/under of 140.5 points, it will go over the total with 141 or more points and under the total with 140 or fewer points.
