The main College Basketball betting markets that are available for every game in the College Basketball are Moneyline, spread and over / under total points.

Money Line - The money line is betting on which team will win the game. There is no option for a draw in the College Basketball, with teams going to overtime if the score is tied at the end of regulation, so the moneyline is a two-way market in which you bet on one team to win, and it includes overtime. 

Spread - The spread market is more also known as a handicap. Bookmakers will assign one team a positive (+) or negative (-) spread, line or handicap depending on favoritism for the game, and the bettor bets to cover the line.

Let’s use a College Basketball game between Illinois and Maryland as an example. If Maryland start with a +7.0 point spread and you bet on them, Maryland need to win the game or lose by less than 8 points in order for your bet to win.

On the other side of the coin, Illinois would be assigned a -7.0 point spread meaning they would need to win by 8 or more points in order for your bet on them to be a winner.

Over / Under Total Points - This College Basketball betting market allows bettors to bet on the total amount of points scored in a game by both teams. The sportsbook will set a line, let’s say 140.5 points and you can bet on the total points scored by both teams going over or under that total.
