How do College Basketball Odds Work?

If you are new to betting on basketball you may be wondering how college basketball odds work. College basketball odds are how statistically likely an outcome is according to the sportsbook.

For each game there is a favorite and an underdog according to the college basketball odds, which are set by the bookmakers. The favorite will be listed as a negative number and the underdog will be listed as a positive number.

When someone is talking about college basketball odds they are most likely referring to the moneyline, because this is where odds have the most impact. If you are looking for college basketball moneyline picks we have those waiting for you over here on their own dedicated page.

The college basketball odds have little to no factor when betting against the spread. If you look at the best bets for today in the table above you will see nearly every game has odds of (-110), this is because the point spread balances out the odds. If you want to learn more about college basketball point spreads and how they work keep reading below.

The last thing you need to know about college basketball odds before you start betting is how they impact your money! There are many different formats of odds but the most common you will see here in the United States are American Odds. This type of odds is based on how much you will win or lose based off bets of $100.

Everyone knows that the best ranked team in college basketball is going to beat the worst ranked team so the sportsbook can’t let you rob them blind by betting $100 on the best team to win the game and winning $100 when they do, so they use college basketball odds to make things a bit more even.

When you look at moneylines for any college basketball game you will see a favorite (a team with a negative number next to their name) and an underdog (a team with a positive number next to their name) this is what someone is talking about when they refer to college basketball odds.

If you are looking to bet on the favorite that number, for example (-150) is how much money you will need to wager to win $100. The sportsbook thinks that team is going to win, so basically are requiring you to wager a higher amount to win a lower amount.

If you are looking to bet on the underdog that number, for example +180 is how much money you will win if you wager $100 on that team and they win. The sportsbook book will payout a higher amount of money for betting a smaller amount.

The reason sportsbooks use college basketball odds is because they need to entice bettors to place wagers on both teams. The sportsbooks ideal outcome is even money on both sides, this way they are sure to profit no matter who wins the game.
