The money lines are adjusted based on who is more likely to win the game (based on the point spread). Let’s use an example. A 4-point favorite in NCAA basketball might be listed at -204 via the money line. This means that you would need to wager $204 to profit $100 on the favorite.
College basketball offers sports bettors a wealth of games on which they can wager. During the season, you’ll find a long list of odds from the top books posted on Maddux Sports’ college basketball lines page. Of course, it’s essential that as a bettor you understand how to read these betting odds. In this article, you’ll learn all that you need to know regarding how to understand NCAA Basketball odds, including the point spread, over/under and moneyline.
*One of the best ways to beat football point spread betting is to use teasers. A teaser is a form of a parlay bet using modified point spreads. Each point spread you select is moved 6 points in your favor. For example, let’s say you’re interested in betting on the following.

The elements we’ll be looking at are often referred to by different names. The point spread is often called the spread or the line. The over/under bet is also known as the total. And the all important rotation number, which is used to identify each team that is playing, can be called the number or the rotation mark. By the way, sometimes people will lump all odds together by calling them lines or they may be referring to the spread when they ask, “What’s the line on the Duke game?” Many terms, over the years, have become interchangeable.
The good news is that although terminology may be laced with slang and some inconsistencies, when you look at college basketball lines posted online they all have the same elements and they all look pretty much the same. The primary difference is some books will list the teams for one game side-by-side and another will have one team on top of another. The main thing to remember is that the visiting club is always listed first.
Starting from the left, the first things you’ll see will be the date and time of the game and right after that will be the rotation number and the team names. The point of the number is to create order and ease in making a bet. The numbers are listed in sequence and they are consistent from book to book.
As an example if Duke is playing at North Carolina and the Blue Devils have a rotation number of 901, then the Tar Heels, who are the home team and listed second, will be 902. In the next games listed, the visiting team would be 903 and the home club 904 and so the sequencing continues.Date/TimeRotation NumberTeamPoint SpreadMoneyLineTotalFeb 12th901Duke+2.5+120152.58:00902North Carolina-2.5-140152.5
Because every sportsbook uses the same numbers, it makes it easy for the bettor to locate the game and the odds at different sites and it provides a shorthand by which bettors can make their wagers over the phone or at a land-based book. To avoid confusion when betting, you don’t mention the name of the team but rather the rotation number.
These initial parts of the line, which are used to identify the game which is being bet, read from left to right—date and time of game, rotation numbers and team names. All elements to the right of this information relate to the college basketball odds for that specific game. This is where you will find the point spread, moneyline and over/under.
The reason the point spread exists is to make it more difficult for sports bettors to pick a winner. In college basketball odds, as in college football, some spreads can be huge. How big might they be? If a team such as Duke or North Carolina, both of which a powerhouses, plays a club such as Idaho State from the much weaker Big Sky Conference the spread could be 40 points or more. Without the spread, it would be much too easy to pick the winner. With the spread in place, bookies hope to even out the bets between the two teams.
This is how the point spread works. The team that is favored is listed with a minus or negative sign and a number, while the underdog is listed with a plus or positive sign and a number. The favorite has points taken away and the dog is given points. In our game where Duke is visiting North Carolina, the spread would be relatively tight since both clubs are national contenders. Duke, because they are visiting, might be listed at +2.5, which means North Carolina would be -2.5.
If you wager on the Blue Devils and they win outright or lose by less than three points, then you win. Bet on the Tar Heels and if they win by three or more points, you win. Often the point spread is listed with a ½ point faction or decimal, which ensures no matter what the score the game cannot end in a tie. If the spread is a whole number, then the contest could end in a tie and that would result in a push. A push means that all bets are off and all cash is returned to the bettors. If the spread was 2 in the Duke/North Carolina game and the final score was Duke (+2) 88 and North Carolina (-2) 90, it would be a tie and a push.
The other number you’ll see associated with the spread is the stake—how much you have to bet to realize a profit of $100. The most common stake you’ll see is listed as -110. This means that you must wager $110 to win $100. Note that the payout on a spread wager is not even money (1:1), as some will say. If it were, you would wager $110 to win $110. The odds are a bit less than even, standing at 0.90:1.00. That’s 10% less than even. Where does that 10% of your payout go? It’s taken by the book as part of their commission, which is also called vigorish or vig.
Next, to the right of the point spread, is the moneyline. Note: some books may list the moneyline separately under a moneyline tab. But often the line is part of the odds listing. This type of bet is quite different from the spread due to the fact that no points are given or taken away and the basketball team that wins outright is the one that pays off. The way the books even the playing field is they charge more for you to wager on the favorite while offering a smaller payout and charge less to bet on the dog while providing a bigger payout.
Using the Duke and North Carolina matchup, the moneyline would have the dog Blue Devils at +120 and the favorite Tar Heels at -140. This moneyline is directly connected to the spread of 2.5. With the moneyline, a club that’s posted on the plus side shows how much you’ll win when wagering $100 and when a team is listed in the negative that tells you how much you must bet to win $100. In our example, you would wager $100 on Duke (+120) to win $120 and $140 on North Carolina (-140) to win $100. Below is a list of the corresponding point spreads as they relate to the moneyline, ranging from -2 to -10. Point SpreadMoney Line-1-120/+100-2-130/+110-2.5-140/+120-3-155/+135-3.5-175/+155-4-200/+170-4.5-220/+180-5/-5.5-240/+190-6-270/+210-6.5-300/+220-7-330/+250-7.5/-8/-8.5-360/+280-9/-9.5-400/+300-10-450/+325
With college basketball odds the last number you will see, which is posted to the right, is the over/under. As it is with the spread, they may not be expressed as a whole number. The over/under represents the total number of points that may be scored in the game. Your wager is either on the over or the under.
In the Duke/North Carolina contest, the total would be around 152.5. If the sum of the points scored by both teams is 153 or higher, the over wins and if it is 152 or lower, then the under wins. As it is with the point spread, this number comes from handicappers working on and assessing matchups, stats, coaches and player performance.
Once odds are posted for a game, sports bettors need to decide quickly, based on research, which bets they are going to take. Early college basketball odds tend to be soft and offer more leeway than adjusted odds, which get tighter as game time gets closer. The elements discussed in this article are all common in NCAA Basketball odds listings. Know how to read each part in order to make smart and timely bets.
The foundation of all betting is point spreads and the NBA is no different. Point spreads are what keep things interesting late in the game when the winner has been decided, point spreads are what entice us and point spreads are what all bettors dream of beating. Picking winners is easy, beating point spreads is what the sharp bettors do.
In this article we are going to show how to bet on NBA Point Spreads, where to find them and some of our best strategies for betting on them. Finding the best place to bet on NBA point spreads is a key to beating them as sometimes a half point one way or the other can change everything.
We’ll cover all that and more in the article below so let’s just get right to it. Where To Bet NBA Point Spreads:
America: Bovada is one of the best options for betting on NBA point spreads. They usually get the lines up early in the day and are constantly updating them throughout the day until gametime. One of the best things here is the ability to buy extra points if you want them.
Canada: It’s hard to go wrong with Sports Interaction for NBA Point Spreads in the Great White North. They have some of the very sharpest lines in the industry and are one of our favorite sites to bet at.
Everywhere Else: It’s easy to find good NBA Point Spreads if you head over to 888. They are always updating their lines and post them in plenty of time before each game’s start time. What are NBA Point Spreads? Bet365 (Click To See)888 (Free Bets)Intertops (Various / Free Bets)
Point spreads are a way to bet on a sporting event without simply picking the winner. The reason for this is because sportsbooks like to keep things even. When a great team like the Warriors plays a bad team like the Magic, the money line on the game can be ridiculous. The Warriors might be a -800 favorite (meaning you’d have to bet $800 to win $100) while the Magic might be +900 (meaning you’d win $900 betting $100). That lacks a certain amount of appeal to potential bettors and thus point spreads can to be.
How point spreads work is simple. Take that same game and instead of the Warriors being -800, they would instead be Warriors -14. Meaning that you can bet the Warriors at close to even money, but they need to win by 15 or more points for you to win the bet. It’s a way of balancing the scales between home and away teams as well as the good and bad teams.
The line will vary from game to game and can even change multiple times during a day as bets pour in on one side or another. Common NBA Point Spreads Questions:
How are the lines set?
Typically lines are set by first considering the home and away teams. There is a slight home court advantage in the NBA, worth about 2.33 points, so that team will usually be an automatic -2 before all other factors are considered.
They then look at which team has the better record, point differential and a myriad of other stats including their recent schedule including rest.
Of course, there are times when doing all this comes up with one number and the sportsbooks post another. That’s because they are a money making enterprise and want the lines that will most entice their customers.
Why do lines change?
Sometimes a game will open at one line and move to another line later in the day. To use an example, the Wolves are playing at Milwaukee and open as a +2.5 underdog. Later in that same day, the Bucks are a -4 favorite.
This happens for one of two reasons: new information or too much betting on one side. New information means that a star player might not be playing or a player previously thought to be out will actually play. Too much beting on one side would mean exactly what it sounds like. Too many people are betting the Bucks -2.5 so they move the line to enitce people to be the Wolves +4.
What is middling?
Middling is when you take a situation like the one we just laid out and bet it twice, hoping the line falls in the middle. So you’d bet the Bucks -2.5 and then later in the day you bet the Wolves +4. You would be hoping the Bucks win by 3 points to give you wins on both bets. If they don’t win by three, you’d still win one bet and lose a bit from the juice. How to Bet NBA Point Spreads:
Bovada: After visiting the “Sports” section click on “Basketball” on the sidebar. This will bring up game lines and point spreads for that particular day. Note that this will cover all leagues with NBA being at the top. To just see the NBA section, click the “All Basketball” drop down at the top and choose “NBA”.
Sports Interaction: In the left sidebar click “Basketball” and then “NBA” once it expands. This will lost all game lines and point spreads for the NBA.
888: You can either just do a search for “NBA” in the top centre of the page or the specific game you’re looking for. Or you can click “NBA” in the left sidebar under “Popular”. This brings up all of the NBA games that day with the point spreads.NBA Point Spread Betting Strategy:
One of the things to always keep track of when betting NBA Point Spreads is the recent schedule. The NBA schedule can be brutal at times and there are scheduled losses on the schedule if you know how to look for them. Three games in four nights is tough on an NBA team and five games in seven nights is absolutely brutal. You will often see adjusted lines for games like these so you need to use caution, but more often than not they can’t set the lines high enough on these games.
Home and road splits are also a good thing to keep an eye on. There is no real rhyme or reason as to why a team plays better at home, but it is a real thing that happens every season. Some teams just get it done on their home court while others really struggle away from home.
One final thing to look for is Net Rating, point differential and other stats that show you how teams have played throughout the season. A .500 team with a high Net Rating is due for some wins while a team with a great record, but bad counting stats might not be as good as they’ve played. There is a lot to keep an eye on when betting NBA point spreads so be sure to look at as much information as you can.
