March Madness money line odds will usually be displayed in American odd format and can be identified by a + or – symbol before the odds, with the ‘-’ sign displaying the favorite and the ‘+’ sign the underdogs. Bet slips on online sportsbooks will calculate your potential winnings for you, but the ‘-’ tells you how much you must stake to win $100 at those odds, where the ‘+’ odds display how much you’ll win for a $100 stake.

At Pickswise, we preview every game ahead of tip-off, providing March Madness Picks for the moneyline and other markets alongside statistical analysis and expert reasoning.

March Madness odds Against the Spread is the most common wager type throughout the NCAA Tournament, particularly in the early rounds which may lack parity.

Unlike the money line odds, which change drastically, the spread changes game to game, and the odds stay fairly consistent, usually around -110. With the spread, you’re not betting on which team will win the game outright, but which team will cover the spread, a line determined by sportsbooks.

The line will see the favored team have to win by more than the spread, or the underdog to win or lose by less than the spread line. The spread does change from sportsbook to sportsbook and every point in your favor counts, so be sure to shop around for the best point spread, which we’ll show right here on our March Madness odds page.

The March Madness Points Total odds are the best way for sports bettors to get involved in a game if they’re not confident in taking a team on the money line or a spread.

The points total, while is won or lost as a result of how the game is played, the result itself does not necessarily matter.

Instead of wagering on one team or the other, you’re betting on whether the combined points totals from both teams will be over or under the line which like the spread is set by sportsbooks. Also, just like the spreads, it’s the total number of points that changes game to game rather than the odds, which stay at around -110.

The points total line fluctuates leading up to the game and can be different at different sportsbooks so the March Madness Odds page right here is a great way to find the best odds and lines for your totals wagers.
