NCAA Tournament Odds & How They Work
bet365 provides competitive odds throughout the tournament, with lines adjusting based on team performance, injuries, and public betting trends. Here’s how to interpret them:
- Favorites (-): A negative number indicates how much you need to bet to win $100. For example, -150 means you must bet $150 to win $100.
- Underdogs (+): A positive number shows how much you’ll win on a $100 bet. For example, +200 means a $100 bet wins $200.
- Point Spreads: If a team is -6.5, they must win by at least 7 points to cover. If an underdog is +6.5, they must lose by 6 points or fewer (or win outright) to cover.
- Over/Under: If the total points line is set at 142.5, you bet on whether the combined score will be over or under that mark.
