Individuals looking to place College Basketball Future wagers will either be alive or dead when this three-week tournament begins and some of the bets can return lucrative prices. While the single-elimination event is the “Super Bowl” of College Basketball, bettors can start placing Future Odds any time. If you've found some odds that interest you, check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make college basketball bets, as well as exclusive sportsbook offers. Similar to other sports, the majority of online oddsmakers post College Basketball Futures shortly after the conclusion of the season. The betting market usually gets a spike of popularity in May or June, which is when some of the top players decided to forego their college basketball eligibility and put themselves into the NBA Draft. Once a player decides to become a professional, he cannot return and continue his amateur status. Some bettors have a knack of forecasting who’s returning and leaving, which could create a huge advantage over the oddsmakers. Knowing that a team will be more experienced is a huge advantage in the College Basketball Futures market.

March Madness Betting OptionsWhile this page tracks the odds to win the NCAA Tournament title – also called an “outright” betting market – there are myriad other ways for bettors to wager on the NCAA Tournament. The subsections below explore how to bet on March Madness in more detail. March Madness Futures: Sweet 16 & Final Four OddsOnce the bracket is set, sportsbooks will release a number of other March Madness futures betting options. These include betting on teams to reach the Sweet 16 and Final Four odds. The payout is obviously lower than correctly picking the tournament winner, but the chances of winning these wagers is of course great. There is no single correct March Madness betting strategy; with the amount of roster (and even coaching) turnover in college basketball, each season has to be approached anew. MoneylineAs with regular-season games, each game in the NCAA Tournament can be wagered on individually. The most straightforward way to bet on a March Madness game is to bet the moneyline. This means betting on a team to win the game straight-up. If they advance to the next round, you win your bet. Point SpreadsYou can also bet each game against the spread, meaning betting on either the favorite to win by more than a set number of points or the underdog to not lose by that same number of points. Betting against the spread will be more common for lopsided games, for example, if Gonzaga is a 35.5-point favorite against its first-round opponent, sportsbooks may not even post a moneyline. TotalsEach March Madness game can also be bet over or under the game total. Sportsbooks will set a game total for each game in the tournament and they will be wildly different depending on which teams are playing. You could see totals anywhere from about 115.5 to 174.5. Teams that play at a slower tempo (think Virginia and Texas) tend to score fewer points (because there are fewer possessions over the course of the game) and vice versa for teams that play quickly (think Gonzaga and Alabama). NCAA Tournament Game OddsWhen the 2023 March Madness tournament begins (on March 14), bettors will be able to find all the college basketball odds on SBD along with game previews and picks for each of the 63 games in the tournament proper. Note that the odds for first-round games will come out on Selection Sunday (March 12) which means there will be nearly four full days of betting before tip-off. Monitor the college basketball public betting trends to see which teams are being most-heavily backed and how the lines are moving. SBD’s editorial staff will release its annual expert brackets on Monday, March 13.
