Free NCAAB Moneyline Picks

When it comes to betting on NCAAB college basketball, the most straightforward way to bet on games is the moneyline. With moneyline betting, all you have to do is bet on the winner of the game – that’s it. There is no spread involved, so as long as the team that you bet on wins, then your bet will cash.

As an example of NCAAB moneyline betting, let’s take a hypothetical example of a game between Duke and Auburn. In this example, let’s say Duke is a -200 betting favorite on the moneyline, and let’s say Auburn is a +150 betting underdog on the moneyline. 

If you bet on Duke as a -200 favorite, you must bet $200 to win $100. If you bet on Auburn as a +150 underdog, you must bet $100 to win $150. As long as your team wins the game by at least one point, then your bet will be a winner. 

This is in contrast to betting on the spread, as in the above example, you would have to bet on Duke to win as a -3.5 point favorite on the spread or bet on Auburn as a +3.5 point underdog again. 

While you get -110 odds on each side when it comes to spread betting, having the spread involved makes things more complicated, and it’s more difficult to win a spread bet than a moneyline bet when it comes to betting on favorites in NCAAB.

Keep in mind there are no ties in college basketball betting, so if you bet on NCAAB moneylines, there is no possibility of a push since the game will keep going if it’s tied after regulation until someone wins in overtime.

Our team of NCAAB handicappers at Bookies.com and bookies+ has all of the best moneyline bets for you to make at the best sports betting apps in the US.

Just sign up for a free bookies+ account here at Bookies.com, and you will get the best college basketball moneyline bets sent right to your inbox daily.

Free NCAAB Picks ATS

Betting on the spread, also known as betting against the spread (ATS), is one of the most common ways that people bet on NCAAB college basketball. With spread betting, the college basketball odds are -110 on each side, so there is only a small amount of juice involved if you bet on the favorite. 

However, your team must win by a certain number of points for your bet to win, which makes betting on favorites more difficult. For betting underdogs, your team can lose by a certain amount of points or win outright for you to cash your bet, giving you two paths to victory, although you will not collect the plus money that an underdog pays out if they win if you bet on the moneyline instead.

Here’s an example of how NCAAB betting works for the spread. Let’s say there is a game between Alabama and BYU, and let’s say Alabama is a -5.5 point favorite to win while BYU is a +5.5-point underdog. 

If you bet on Alabama, then they must win the game by at least six points to cash your bet. If you bet on BYU as a +5.5 point underdog, then they can lose by up to five points or win outright for you to win your bet, giving you two different ways for your underdog bet on the spread to win.

Spread betting is great because it cuts down on the amount of juice you have to lay on a betting favorite, but the downside is that your team needs to win by a certain number of points. 

For underdogs, spread betting is great because you get two chances to win your bet on a spread underdog, either by them losing within a certain margin of points or by winning outright. 

While you would be giving up the potential plus money you would get if you bet on an underdog winning outright on the moneyline, spread betting is a bit safer since it gives you more of a margin for error with two ways to win, and you’ll get -110 odds on it, too.

Since ATS betting is so popular among sports bettors, we always have spread bets available for our Bookies.com readers and our bookies+ subscribers.

Free Expert Over/Under NCAAB Picks

NCAAB bettors also have another popular way to bet on college basketball, which is the total, or the over/under. With this type of betting, the best betting sites in the US sets a line for how many total points they expect will be scored in an NCAAB game, and then you bet on either the over or the under. 

If you bet on over and the total points go over the total, your bet wins, while if you bet on under and the total points go under the total, your bet wins.

Here’s an example of how betting on a total in an NCAAB game works. Let’s take an example of a game between Maryland and Florida. In this example, let’s say the total points are set at 149.5 points. 

If you bet on over and at least 150 points are scored in the game, then your bet will win, while if you bet on under and 149 or fewer points are scored, then your bet will win.

Betting on totals is another way to bet on the NCAAB, and our team of expert handicappers at Bookies.com and bookies+ looks through all of the available wagers you can make, including over/unders, and sends you the best bets every day during the NCAAB season directly to your inbox for free.

Free NCAAB Prop Picks

When it comes to NCAAB betting, one of the most popular ways to bet on the games is player props. Some of the most popular types of player props that NCAAB sports bettors target are player props, player rebounds, and player assists, meaning you bet over or under on whether NCAAB players will reach certain statistical thresholds set out by the sportsbooks. 

This is one of the most popular ways to bet on college basketball, and in some instances, you may prefer to bet on player props rather than betting on the actual outcome of the games themselves.

While there are several different types of player props to bet on when it comes to NCAAB, the most common way you will likely make player props on college basketball is with player points. There will be an over and an under, and you will bet either the over or the under on how many points you think a player will score. 

Over the years, this has become one of the most common ways that sports bettors attack college basketball betting. Instead of betting on teams to win, the spread, or the totals, you can just bet on an individual’s performance instead – but there are exceptions.

We need to let you know that certain states do not allow sports betting on player props when it comes to college basketball. Some states have outright banned betting on player props, while other states restrict the types of player props you can wager on. Remember to check what the laws are in your state if you are planning on betting on player props.

In addition to player props, you can also bet on team props, such as how many points an NCAAB team will score in a college basketball game. If there is betting value to be had, then our team of expert NCAAB handicappers will be sure to include them in our free picks here are Bookies.com and bookies+.
