One of the most exciting events to bet on in sports is March Madness. So don't miss out on March Madness odds, Final Four odds, free bracket challenges to win $10M, and much more!
Best Sportsbooks for March Madness
Most of the online sportsbooks offer betting on college basketball. They will try to win your business by offering enticing sign-up bonuses, promos and boosts for March Madness and NCAAB, but you must remain diligent and wary when selecting a sportsbook. Many of them are scam sites that will rip you off. We have reviewed more than 1,000 of the best sports betting sites and write about our best college basketball picks, so we can point you in the direction of legitimate, trustworthy sites offering college basketball betting lines. Choose a site with a great rating, such as FanDuel, DraftKings, and Caesars. These sites have competitive odds on college basketball, great software and best sportsbook promos - such as a bet365 bonus code, DraftKings promo code or FanDuel promo code.
If you're looking for sports betting apps to bet on March Madness there are some great March Madness betting sites out there with great March Madness betting promos.
March Madness Moneyline Betting
This is a simple wager on which team will win the game. Sportsbooks weigh up the relative strengths of each team before assigning NCAAB odds on each of them. If Duke is due to play North Carolina State, you might see a moneyline price of -300 on Duke and +250 on North Carolina. A minus sign tells you how much you need to wager in order to make a $100 profit.
In this instance, you would need to bet $300 on Duke to make a $100 profit. A $10 bet on Duke would earn you $3.33 if successful, whereas a $10 bet on North Carolina would earn you $25. That tells you the sportsbooks think Duke has a much better chance to win the game, so it is the clear favorite in the college basketball odds, while North Carolina is the underdog for the game.
March Madness Spreads
The point spread is the most common way to bet on college basketball. The sportsbooks will give the supposedly stronger team a handicap in order to make things even. You might see Duke installed as the 8.5-point favorite in the March Madness lines for that hypothetical game against North Carolina. You would then be able to bet either on Duke -8.5 or N.C. State +8.5 in point spread. You would generally expect to find odds of -110 on either team to cover the spread, unless you find a reduced juice book that takes lower vigorish and offers -105 lines on each team.
If you bet on Duke to cover the spread, it would need to win by 9 or more points. However, you would be likely to find odds of -110 as opposed to -300, so your potential profit would be much higher. If you bet on N.C. State to cover that spread, it could either win the game or lose by no more than 8 points and your bet would pay off. However, you would be likely to find odds of -110 as opposed to +250, so your payout would be smaller.
You can also find a number of alternative point spread options at some of the best betting sites. If the official line was 8.5 points, a betting site might offer you the opportunity to bet on an alternative point spread line of 7.5, 6.5, 9.5 or 10.5. If you thought Duke would win convincingly, you could bet on Duke -10.5 to get better odds. If you thought N.C. State might struggle to cover an 8.5-point spread, but that it would get close, you could bet on N.C. State +9.5 and accept slightly less attractive odds. You could alternatively get better odds by going for N.C. State +6.5 to cover the spread. This point spread flexibility is only available at a few sportsbooks, but it can be really helpful. Other books allow you to buy or sell points or half-points to skew the spread in different directions, and that is a similar concept.
March Madness Totals Betting
Sportsbooks will set college basketball lines relating to the total points that will be scored in a particular game. An example would be 144.5 points in a game between Wake Forest and Pac 12 heavyweights Oregon. You then have to predict whether the cumulative points scored by both teams will go over or under that line. Once again, you will typically see -110 on either outcome, unless it offers reduced juice NCAA Basketball odds. Some of the best sportsbooks will also allow you to bet on team totals. You might be able to bet on over or under 77.5 points for Oregon, as an example. Oregon would not have to win the game for your bet to pay off. It would simply need to score more than 77.5 points.
March Madness Prop Bets
Some bettors want to go deeper than spreads and totals when looking for the perfect NCAA Basketball lines to bet on. Sportsbooks cater to those bettors by offering a range of exotic prop bets on college basketball games. Props focus on a particular event within a game, such as the first team to score 5 or more points, the total field goals made or the total points scored by a particular player. DraftKings is a great site for college basketball player props today, while you can also find a few interesting props at sites like Caesars and FanDuel. You should be able to bet on markets like total rebounds, total blocks, three-point field goals made and so on. There are a number of player props to choose from, and you can often bet on head-to-head performance statistics between individual players.
