College basketball betting is very similar to NBA basketball betting. There are three main types of college basketball bets: spread betting, money line betting and over under or game total betting. In addition there are also college basketball prop betting that is offered by many sportsbooks. In this article, I will attempt to explain how each type of NCAA college basketball betting works.
College basketball spread betting
Spread betting involves picking sides, however, college basketball spread betting, like other sports spread betting, is more complicated than just picking a team you think will win the spread. In spread betting, the oddsmakers will set a number of points (called the spread) that the favored team is favored to win the game. In order for a bet placed on the team which is favored to win, the favorite team must win by more than the number of points set as the spread. For a bet on the underdog team, on the other hand, the underdog can lose by less than the amount of the spread, or win the game outright in order for you to win your bet on the underdog. For example, if UNLV was 6.5 point favorites they would need to win by 7 or more points in order to "cover the spread". If UNLV only won by 3 points than the underdog team would win on the spread.
College Basketball Money Line Betting
Money line betting is just picking which NCAA college basketball team you think will win the game. It does not matter by how many points, as long as the team you bet on wins the game. Of course, with money line betting, if the favorite team wins the college basketball game, the payout is less money than the team who is not likely to win the game.
Over Under Betting for College Basketball
This is the bet that I like to place most of the time when I make a sports bet like betting on college basketball. Over under betting is sometimes referred to as game total betting since it involves betting on the number of points both teams score in a game combined, half, or quarter. In this type of bet, the oddsmakers will set a game total or over under number, and sports bettors can either choose for the total number of points scored by both teams to go over or under the set number. An example of this type of bet would be if the number was set at 146.5, bettors could bet on there being 147 or more points, known as the over or 156 or fewer points, known as the under.
NCAA College Basketball Prop Betting
Prop betting in NCAA college basketball includes any type of betting that is not based on the final outcome of a game. In college basketball, there are lots of different types of prop bets you can make for the college basketball game or season. Prop bets would include halftime or quarter scores as well as individual player performances. Individual player performances in a game is a very popular bet made by many sports bettors. An example of a prop bet for an individual player performance would be "Will John Example have over or under 15.5 points tonight?". In addition, you can also make future prop bets. A common future college basketball bet would be betting on who will win the National Championship for NCAA college basketball.
