NCAA Hoops betting: Ontario vs the rest of Canada

Once Canada legalized single-event betting in 2021, Ontario moved to open their own regulated market of licensed betting operators in 2022. However, the rest of Canada is left to bet on NCAA basketball games at their respective province's lottery corporation-run online sportsbook, or in the so-called "grey market" at offshore websites. The latter group consists of many options and unfortunately, many operators there are highly disreputable -  but we're here to help guide you.

If you are located within Ontario, above our NCAAB odds, we display our top-ranked legal Ontario sportsbooks for your review. If you are outside Ontario, above the odds, instead, we display our top-ranked "grey market" NCAA basketball betting options for the rest of Canada. All the brands that we recommend for the "rest of Canada" market segment are now licensed in Ontario. Just know that you'll be playing on their "offshore" websites. Learn about many more Canada sports betting topics as you begin.

About our NCAAB Odds

Above, our odds feed is set to display the highest odds for the most popular betting markets for each NCAA basketball game. This is why you might see slightly differing handicap lines as associated to the odds. The bookie with the highest odds for one side of a bet will not usually also have the highest odds on other side of the bet. This explains why the point spread or total lines may not match exactly. These NCAAB odds come from different providers within the Canadian "grey market" & Ontario legal market context.

Thus, these odds will look better overall compared to any individual betting provider. If you just want to get a NCAA hoops wager down, you only need one betting account. However, if you want to get the best price on your bets in order to maximize your potential winnings, you may wish to have accounts at several operators, and spend a little time on NCAAB odds comparison. We also have NCAA basketball futures odds if you interested in seeing the value available on various collegiate teams to be crowned the National Champion.

 

Moneyline Betting in NCAA Basketball:

In NCAA Basketball Moneyline betting, you are betting on the outright winner of a game without considering the point spread. The odds for Moneyline bets are presented in decimal format. Here's an example:

  • Duke Blue Devils: 1.50
  • Kentucky Wildcats: 2.80

If you bet 100 units on the Duke Blue Devils at odds of 1.50 and they win the game, you would receive a total payout of 150 units (including your initial stake). On the other hand, a 100-unit bet on the Kentucky Wildcats at odds of 2.80 would result in a total payout of 280 units if they win.

 

Point Spread Betting in NCAA Basketball:

In NCAA Basketball Point Spread betting, a point spread or handicap is given to each team to create a more balanced betting market. The odds for Point Spread bets are also displayed in decimal format. Here's an example:

  • Duke Blue Devils -6.5: 1.90
  • Kentucky Wildcats +6.5: 1.90

If you bet on the Duke Blue Devils at -6.5 points and they win by 7 or more points, your bet would be successful with a payout of 190 units for a 100-unit wager. Conversely, if you bet on the Kentucky Wildcats at +6.5 points, they can either win the game outright or lose by 6 or fewer points for your bet to win.

 

Total Betting (Over/Under) in NCAA Basketball:

In NCAA Basketball Total betting, also known as the Over/Under, you are betting on the combined score of both teams in an NCAA Basketball game. The sportsbook sets a benchmark number, and you wager on whether the actual score will be over or under that total. The odds for Total bets are presented in decimal format. Here's an example:

  • Over 150.5: 1.85
  • Under 150.5: 1.85

If you believe the total score will be higher than 150.5 points, you would bet on the Over. If the actual combined score is 151 points or more, your bet would be successful with a payout of 185 units for a 100-unit wager. Conversely, if you expect a lower-scoring game, you would bet on the Under, hoping for a total score of 150 points or fewer.
