The most popular college basketball futures bets involve which teams are standing after each March milestone event. Obviously, this makes it more difficult to predict, and the odds (and payouts) are usually much higher than they are on game-day bets. Obviously, everyone’s focus-from players to coaches to fans-is on March, which is what makes college basketball the perfect setting for futures betting.įutures betting refers to placing a bet on something that will be decided at a later date, usually weeks or months into the future. Then comes March Madness, three weeks of nearly constant basketball, with upsets and fantastic finishes that narrow down a field of 68 teams to 16, then four, and then one national champion. After the regular season winds down and the day-to-day college basketball odds grind comes to a halt, college teams play a conference tournament, which gives every team-elite or terrible-a chance to win the league title over a wild four or five-day span. No sport has a better ending to its season than college basketball. College Basketball Futures Odds & Betting
