📊 Types of March Madness prop bets

March Madness prop bets offer exciting wagering options beyond traditional game outcomes. One popular type of prop bet is Over/Under betting, where bettors predict whether a certain statistic or event will surpass a predetermined threshold. For March Madness, this could include Over/Under bets on the total number of 3-pointers made by a team or player, or the total rebounds grabbed.

Another common type of March Madness prop bet is player performance betting, which involves wagering on individual player performances or achievements. This could include bets on which player will score the most points in a game, which player will record the most rebounds or assists, or whether a specific player will reach a certain milestone, such as scoring a double-double or triple-double.

Additionally, March Madness prop bets may include bets on specific game events or occurrences, such as the first team to score, the first player to commit a turnover, or whether a game will go into overtime. These types of prop bets allow bettors to wager on the unpredictable and exciting moments that can unfold during March Madness games, making the tournament even more thrilling to watch.

❓ How do March Madness prop bet odds work?

March Madness prop bet odds operate similarly to traditional betting odds but focus on specific events within the NCAA Tournament. These bets offer diverse options beyond game outcomes, allowing bettors to wager on player performances, game events, or statistical benchmarks. March Madness prop bet odds are presented in formats like fractional, decimal, or American, reflecting the likelihood of specific outcomes determined by sportsbook oddsmakers.

Bettors assess probabilities based on factors like team and player statistics, comparing odds across platforms to identify value opportunities and make informed wagers during the tournament.

The odds are typically set in a way to draw equal action on either side of the betting line for the sportsbook. Most often, a player point total of 17.5 would carry odds of -110 on both the Over and the Under. The -110 odds represent a 52.38% implied probability on either side, with a $110 bet on the Over or Under returning a profit of $100.

Should one side of the line draw more action from the betting public than the other, the sportsbooks would lower the odds on that more popular side (and raise them on the other side) before potentially raising or lowering the betting line.
