NCAAB Futures Betting Odds
What are College Basketball Futures?
NCAAB futures betting offers fans a long-term investment opportunity tied to the outcomes of numerous college basketball events. Futures focus on the results of many college basketball events, such as the National Championship winner, conference champions, or the John Wooden Player of the Year award.
Keep in mind, futures odds change drastically over time, as injuries, team performances, and other college basketball betting news impact the odds. Throughout the season, you'll notice odds drift as teams rise to become college basketball National Championship contenders, while others fall by the wayside. Sportsbooks will list a (+) sign beside the lines for most futures odds, this number denotes the amount you will win if you were to place a bet for $100 on that particular team, or player.
The College Basketball National Championship odds currently read like so:
| Team | Odds |
| Connecticut Huskies | +450 |
| Purdue Boilermakers | +650 |
| Houston Cougars | +900 |
| Arizona Wildcats | +1200 |
In this instance, a $100 bet on the favored Connecticut Huskies would win you $450, should the Huskies win the National Championship yet again.
The best time to place your NCAAB futures bets are before the beginning of the season, or before the March Madness tournament begins. We want to ensure to be early to the party, to find the value before the rest of the world notices it. Sportsbooks are extremely effective at updating their NCAAB betting odds, so be sure to time your wagers wisely.
