College Basketball WageringCollege basketball wagering is very much the same as all other sports betting. However, when you add the excitement and unpredictability of college basketball, the action can get very exciting. Like with other types of sports betting, there are several ways to participate and make money in college basketball wagering. Understanding the basics will allow you to decide which method is right for you.March Madness National Championship Betting Odds The first thing you need to look at when deciding which bet is right for you is the college basketball wagering line. The line will tell you what the money line is (e.g. +120, -180, etc) and it will tell you what the point spread is in any particular game. For your foray into college basketball wagering to be successful, it is important that you understand what these terms mean and how they relate to the different types of bets you can place. These are two basic ways to participate in college basketball wagering: the straight bet and the money line. There are other ways to bet on college basketball games, like parlays and future wagers, but these two are the basic methods. Check out Bodog and start winning NOW!

Say that the college basketball wagering line is for a game pitting Duke against Michigan State University. Now let's say that the bookmakers have decided that Michigan State University is going to beat Duke by 5 points. If you bet on Michigan State to win, you are not just betting on them to win, but they have to win by more than five points. If they win by exactly 5 points, that is considered a push and if they win by less than 5 points, you lose. If, on the other hand you bet on Duke to win, all Duke has to do is lose by less than 5 points for you to. If they lose by 5 points exactly, it is again a push and no money changes hands. However, if they lose by more than 5 points, then the house wins the wager. March Madness is here and so are free college basketball picks! Another way to bet is also apparent on the college basketball wagering line. Keeping out theoretical game between Duke and Michigan State University going, let say that Michigan State University's money line is -180 and Duke's is +120. First of all, it should be pointed out that negative numbers denote the team that is favored while positive numbers indicate the underdog. In this type of college basketball wagering, the point spread doesn't matter at all. The only thing that is important is winning. The money lines indicate how much money you need to bet in order to win a certain amount of money. In this case, if you bet on MSU to win, you need to bet $180 to win $100. If you bet on Duke to win, a wager of $100 will win you $120. Join the World's most popular Online Sportsbook and receive a 50% SIGN-UP BONUS + $25 FREE CASH!
