How to read basketball betting odds

Here in Canada, basketball odds are shown in a decimal format. The decimal number represents your winnings if you wager $1. So, for instance, if you chose a winning bet at odds of 7.0, and wagered $1, you’d win $7: this is made of $6 in prize, plus your $1 stake. Similarly, if you place a $10 bet, you’d return $70 in total, including your $10 stake.

The idea of witnessing the potential future of the NBA is just one of many reasons why the NCAAB (National Collegiate Athletic Association Basketball)is an exciting league to watch.
