Point spread betting is the most common with both NBA and NCAA basketball odds, though there are always other markets available, including:\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNCAAB Point Spread Betting\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoint spread betting is quite popular, likely because a basket can give either two or three points. This makes for a more dynamic game where one throw can make all the difference. Point spreads capitalise on this by choosing a favourite and an underdog, with a handicap between them.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere’s an example – the Baylor Bears are the -6.5 favourite against the Kansas Jayhawks at +6.5. Basically, if you bet on the Bears, they need to win by at least six points. If you bet on the Jayhawks, however, they need to close that gap. They can either lose by less than six\u0026nbsp;points or win the game completely.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNCAAB Over/Under Betting\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver/under betting is another common market for college basketball odds. Oddsmakers predict a number for one of the game’s many stats – most commonly the score. If the prediction for all points scored by both teams is 155.5, you can bet if the score will stay at/under 155 or go over it.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver/under bets tend to have a decimal place in them. This is to stop a draw, where no side gets paid out. In our example, it's impossible for 155.5 exactly to be scored. Over/under bets can be applied to nets scored by one team, or even a certain player.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNCAAB Money Line Betting\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoney line betting is a simpler market where you essentially bet on who will win. Like other bets, there’s a clear favourite and underdog decided by the oddsmakers. They are given odds that determine the payout should they win. Underdogs provide favourable payouts because they’re less likely to win.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor example, our Bears vs\u0026nbsp;Jayhawks game. If the Bears are the favourite at 2/5, then every £5 bet will get a £2 profit should they win. If the Jayhawks are underdogs at 15/8, every £8 you bet will get £15 back.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's worth keeping in mind that we offer\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"https://www.talksportbet.com/en-gb/offer/sports\"\u003epromotions and offers\u003c/a\u003e\u0026nbsp;on rotation, so it's always a good idea to check this page before placing any wagers!\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18+ | Opt in | T\u0026amp;Cs apply |\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.begambleaware.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebegambleaware.org\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026nbsp;| Please gamble responsibly.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"NCAAB Recent Winners","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eNCAAB Recent Winners\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe collegiate basketball landscape changes quickly as players age out of the NCAA.
