How to Read College Basketball Odds

Understanding how to read college basketball odds can be challenging for new sports bettors. With so many betting types available, it can be difficult to know where to start. Here is a look at some of the basics of odds and bet types that you'll need to know as you begin your NCAA basketball betting journey.

NCAAB odds can be presented using several different formats, including fractional odds and decimal odds. However, the most popular sports betting sites in the United States use the American odds format, which illustrates NCAA basketball betting odds as having positive or negative values. This enables you to easily determine the potential payout of your wagers on college basketball moneylines, point spreads, totals, props and college basketball futures.

Here are some rules of thumb that will help you to quickly and easily interpret college basketball betting odds.

With the American odds format, positive odds indicate your potential winnings based on a $100 bet, while negative odds indicate how much you must wager to win $100.

UConn -180
Indiana +150

For example, let's say the UConn Huskies are listed as -180 favorites in a matchup with the Indiana Hoosiers. That means, you must wager $180 on Connecticut to win $100. Conversely, if the Hoosiers are listed as +150 underdogs, it means that a successful $100 bet on Indiana will produce winnings of $150.

This simple formula applies regardless of bet type. The above example illustrates moneyline odds on which team will win the game, regardless of the score. However, you will also find that bet types like point spreads, totals and futures also use American odds to determine payouts.

UConn -4.5 (-115)
Indiana +4.5 (-105)

Above is an example of a college basketball point spread. In this case, UConn is favored by 4.5 points over Indiana, which means the Huskies must win by at least that many points to reward sports bettors. The spread is accompanied by odds that determine payout.
In this case, UConn is a -115 favorite to cover the 4.5-point spread which means you must wager $115 to have a chance to win $100. Conversely, Indiana is a -105 bet to cover as 4.5-point underdogs, which means that Indiana bettors must wager $105 to win $100.

Other college basketball bet types like props and futures also feature the American odds format and payouts are calculated in the same fashion. However, if you are making bets at an online sportsbook that uses fractional or decimal odds, you can quickly and easily convert them to American odds using the RotoWire betting odds calculator.
