How do NCAAB Against the Spread (ATS) Picks Work?
The point spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to entice bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points. For example, if Duke is listed as a ten-point favorite (-10) over North Carolina, backing Duke would mean they need to win by at least eleven points to win the bet. Any victory by 9 points or less by Duke would result in a loss, even though they won the game straight-up and a win for North Carolina. If the game falls on 10, a ‘push’ occurs, which is a tie, meaning all tickets are refunded.
How do NCAAB Moneyline Picks Work?
There is moneyline betting in basketball in case you don’t want to worry about the points. However, the odds or amount you would have to risk is adjusted accordingly for both the favorite and underdog. If you wanted to back Duke (a ten-point favorite) but only needed them to win straight-up, you would need to wager $700 to win $100. On the flip side, if you have enough faith in North Carolina to beat Duke outright as a five-point ‘dog, you can wager $100 to win $500. There is a sliding scale on the moneyline and point spread correlation, with the favorite numbers rising relative to how many points they lay. A three-point favorite to win outright is just -160 (risk $160 to win $100), while a seven-point favorite is a chalkier bet at -320 (risk $320 to win $100).
How do NCAAB Total (Over-Under) Picks Work?
Another option to bet on basketball instead of taking a side is to bet on the total. Basically, this is a cooperative effort between the two teams to either go ‘Over’ or ‘Under’ the posted total. In basketball, if Duke and North Carolina have a game total of 155 ½, a winning ‘Over’ bet would mean the two clubs would combine for 156 points or more. On the flip side, a winning ‘Under’ ticket is 155 points or fewer between the two teams.
