Not a bad debut for this piece last time out after cashing four of five parlay legs and it taking a late-game choke by the Northwestern Wildcats to prevent us from sweeping the board. It wasn’t pretty, but the Georgia Bulldogs got us to the window at the online sportsbook by staying a step ahead of Mississippi State all game long. The Creighton Bluejays came up just short at Xavier but stayed within the number. Texas A&M destroyed a Mizzou team that’s night and day on the road as expected, w... 

Most programs in the country would take what the Kentucky Wildcats have done so far this season. But this is Kentucky and any rough patch draws intense criticism from fans and the media. And the Cats are experiencing a rough stretch losing two straight with the most recent setback at home to South Carolina as a 20-point favorite. That came after the Cats were blown away 78-52 at Alabama. John Calipari is a legend in Lexington, at least when he’s winning games and NCAA titles. Even with 10 wins i... 

With the online sportsbook putting most of its attention into Saturday’s wild-card matchups in the NFL, college basketball bettors just might be able to take advantage of some betting lines that slip through the cracks. After the Northwestern Wildcats prevented us from ripping off a perfect 5-0 showing in Wednesday night’s debut of this parlay picks piece, I’m ready to get after it on a loaded college hoops betting slate that offers up another 152 games to sink our teeth into. Here’s to building... 

With Wild-Card Weekend set to kick off and Super Bowl LVII soon to follow, it’s time to start paying a bit more attention to what’s going down on the college basketball hardwood so as to make sure you’re not clueless once March Madness arrives. College basketball betting has been going down since early November with conference play picking up in early December. That means the online sportsbook has been offering up daily betting odds for over two months now. The futures odds were made available i... 

Few teams have dominated a conference like the Gonzaga Bulldogs have dominated the West Coast Conference since the start of the 21st Century. Gonzaga has won the WCC Conference Tournament 18 times and a share of the regular season conference championship 21 times since 2000, so it’s no surprise the Zags haven’t missed the NCAA Tournament since 1998. The BYU Cougars were supposed to challenge Gonzaga upon joining the WCC in July 2011, but that has yet to happen, and now the Cougars are set to lea... 

An enormous 64-game slate lies before us Wednesday night, and it’s my job to make you money betting parlays the remainder of the 2022-23 college basketball betting season. With the Georgia Bulldogs just winning a second straight National Championship and the NFL playoffs kicking off this weekend, the thick of conference play has begun on the collegiate hardwood. That means just about every slate moving forward will be loaded with matchups to sink our teeth into at the online sportsbook. Here’s to getting off on the right foot with some sides to add to your Hump Day parlay card! ... 

Following a recent stretch where they lost twice in three games, the Kentucky Wildcats dropped out of the national rankings for the first time this season. As an unranked foe the Cats will be underdogs for their SEC matchup with No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday. Bama has the unique distinction of knocking off the No. 1 team in the country twice this season, beating North Carolina and Houston on the road a few weeks later. There is one common theme between the clubs; they both lost to power... 

Massive turnover in Tallahassee left the Florida State Seminoles and coach Leonard Hamilton wondering how the team would respond. Well, it wasn’t a good beginning with the Noles losing their first four games and nine of 10. There were signs that maybe they’re turning a corner with three wins in their last four games however continuing that trend is going to be difficult with a matchup against the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday. Last time out the Blue Devils were beaten handily on the road by Wake ... 

The North Carolina Tar Heels were the No. 1 team in the country until a four-game slide dropped them completely out of the national rankings. The Heels have regained their winning form with three straight wins and payouts, the latest in overtime over Ohio State after tying the game late in regulation. UNC looks to continue the run of success with a matchup against the Michigan Wolverines on Wednesday in the Jumpman Invitational in Charlotte. While it’s a neutral site contest, the Heels have a sh... 

The matchup between college basketball bluebloods likely would have been a bigger deal if not for the Indiana Hoosiers dropping two of their last three games. A visit to Phog Allen Fieldhouse for a top-25 matchup with the Kansas Jayhawks isn’t the ideal scenario to break out of their little slump but that’s what IU is facing after recent setbacks to Rutgers and Arizona. Kansas is always tough to beat and especially at the Phog where they are 5-0 this season with payouts in the last two. Following their lone setback of the season the Jayhawks have won three straight by an average of nearly 29 points covering the spread and cashing the OVER in all three. This war on the floor will go down Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 12 p.m. ET at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, KS. The game will be televised live on ESPN2. We'll have NCAA basketball odds at BookMaker.eu available for this and every game on the college basketball Saturday schedule. ... 

The final game of the NCAA tournament is upon us. The matchup will shockingly pit the East Region No. 8 seeded North Carolina Tar Heels up against the Midwest Region No. 1 seeded Kansas Jayhawks. Bill Self’s kids have been getting a majority of the betting action at online sportsbooks with total bettors expecting points to hit the board. While it’s always a blast betting the more traditional sides, totals, and moneylines, why not break the game inside the game down a bit more and get involved in... 

The North Carolina Tar Heels just sent the Duke Blue Devils home in arguably the program’s biggest win since cutting down the nets back in 2017. It will forever have one-upped the Dookies with it just so happening to be the final collegiate game Coach K will ever coach. After getting sky-high for that one and ultimately coming out on top, it comes to reason that they’ll have their hands full in Monday night’s National Championship Game against the Kansas Jayhawks with the adrenaline and exciteme... 

Final Four betting pits a quadrant of blue bloods against one another at online sportsbooks. Kansas is set to square off against Villanova in a prime regional semifinals grudge match, while a historic chapter of the UNC/Duke rivalry is set to be written. While most college hoops bettors are likely to bet way beyond their means on the point spreads, moneylines and totals with only three games remaining on the docket, there’s a bevy of props available to help spice things up throughout both games.... 

A couple of teams that finished in the middle of the pack of their respective conference’s regular season standings will square off for the right of being coined the 2022 NIT tournament champion when the Xavier Musketeers square off against the Texas A&M Aggies on the hallowed grounds of MSG. Not that it matters, but the former was the No. 2 seed in its region while the latter clocked in as the No. 1 seed in theirs. While each squad’s regular season efforts weren’t enough to lock up at-large... 

Three of the four No. 1 seeds in the Women’s NCAA Tournament have made it to the Final Four. North Carolina State was the only top seed that failed to make it to Minneapolis, but the Wolfpack had the misfortune of having to play UConn in nearby Bridgeport in the Elite Eight. South Carolina is favored to win it all as the top team in the country for most of the ye... 

The Final Four closes out with one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports with the East Region No. 8 seed North Carolina Tar Heels set to lock horns with the West Region No. 2 seed Duke Blue Devils. This will mark the first time ever these hated ACC rivals will square off against one another in NCAA tournament betting at online sportsbooks. The team’s split their pair of regular season matchups with the Dookies going into Chapel Hill and pounding Hubert Davis’ kids 87-67 as 3.5-point road favorites. The Heels returned the favor in the rematch in Durham ousting the Blue Devils 94-81 as 11-point underdogs. The loss just so happened to be the final one absorbed in front of the “Cameron Crazies” for Mike Krzyzewski. That paired with a trip to the title game on the line should have Coach K’s kids locked in for the rubber match. But will that be enough to Paulo Banchero and Co. in a position to win a sixth championship in his farewell tour? I’ll be betting on it! Take this Final Four matchup in live from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at 8:49 p.m. ET. BookMaker.eu will have NCAA basketball odds available for this and every game lined up for the remainder of the NCAA tournament. ... 

The Final Four tips off with a rematch of the 2018 regional semifinals when the No. 2 seeded Villanova Wildcats out of the South Region squares off against the Midwest Region’s top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks. When these historic basketball programs last squared off with a trip to the title game on the line, Jay Wright’s kids destroyed the Jayhawks 95-79 to easily cover the closing 5-point spread at online sportsbooks. Though Collin Gillespie was only keeping the bench warm as a freshman back then, you can bet your bottom dollar Bill Self will make it a point to have his troops ready for the rematch. KU has been the beneficiary of an extremely easy road to get to New Orleans due to the higher seeds wreaking havoc upon their region. They’ve been dealt another favorable hand going into this one with Justin Moore and steady offense paired with tenacious defense no longer available after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in the Elite Eight matchup with Houston. Will his absence propel the Jayhawks into the next round with ease? Don’t count on it! Take this Final Four matchup in live from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at 6:09 p.m. ET. BookMaker.eu will have NCAA basketball odds available for this and every game lined up for the remainder of the NCAA Tournament. ... 

Even after all the upsets that busted brackets as early as the first round of NCAA Tournament betting, it’s four bluebloods that remain standing heading into the Final Four. The Kansas Jayhawks proved to be the lone No. 1 seed to punch a ticket to New Orleans after thrashing the Miami Hurricanes; this will be the program’s 16th time moving onto the national semifinals. They’ll square off against... 

With the NCAA tournament’s Final Four determined over the weekend and there being no games to break down until the following Saturday, it’s time for college basketball bettors to once again turn their attention back to the NIT tournament with the Final Four set to go down Tuesday night. The last four standing are comprised of the No. 4 seed St. Bonaventure Bonnies, No. 2 seed Xavier Musketeers, No. 4 seed Washington State Cougars, and No. 1 seed Texas A&M Aggies. With all fo... 

The UCLA Bruins are back in the Sweet 16 for the second time in as many years under Mick Cronin’s watch. Only this time, online sportsbooks expect them to advance into the Elite Eight as opposed to last season when they went off the board as 7-point underdogs against the Alabama Crimson Tide. That being said, they’re less than possession favorites versus a North Carolina Tar Heels team that matches up extremely well against them both in the paint and along the perimeter. While UNC has had its is... 

The Purdue Boilermakers haven’t had the greatest of luck in the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament for quite some time now. Save for reaching the Elite Eight back in 2019, Matt Painter saw each of his prior two teams come up short. Online sportsbooks currently have the Boilers installed decided -106 favorites to represent the East Region in the Final Four. All that stands in their way is the Cinderella of the 2021-22 dance otherwise known as the St. Peter’s Peacocks. This little known sc... 

I can’t even begin to express how amped I am for this matchup between the top-seeded Arizona Wildcats and No. 5 seed Houston Cougars! The Coogs will undoubtedly possess the rest advantage after getting the best of both UAB and Illinois with relative ease through the first two rounds. Zona was however forced to expend a ton of energy to get by what proved to be a game bunch of TCU Horned Frogs in overtime just to make it out of the first weekend. Houston’s pair of dominant showings allowed for it... 

So all it took was the NCAA tournament to arrive for Juwan Howard’s Michigan Wolverines to start firing on all cylinders. After getting tossed aside by Indiana in the quarters of the Big Ten tourney, college basketball bettors faded them at online sportsbooks in the first round against Colorado State; it proved not to be the greatest of ideas. They did it again against Tennessee. Admittedly, I was of the guilty party. Having knocked off the No. 6 and 3 seeds in the South Region, Hunter Dickinson... 

Though all eyes have been fixated on the NCAA Tournament over the last week, the NIT tournament has been playing out in the shadows at online sportsbooks. The exhibition is down to the final eight participants with St. Bonaventure, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Xavier, Wake Forest, Texas A&M, Washington State and BYU all duking it out to be the champion of the “Not Invited Tournament.” So before you... 

So how’s your bracket look through the first week of NCAA Tournament betting? With Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Baylor, Auburn, and Wisconsin all going the way of the dinosaur much to the delight of online sportsbooks, it’s pretty safe to assume your bracket – like many others – is chockfull of red ink. Heck, even top seeds Arizona, Gonzaga, and Kansas were all put on the brink of elimination in the second round. Four double-digit seeds advanced into the second weekend! Having said that, two of my...
