College basketball is back in a big way this season. Making up for lost time with the cancelation of last season’s NCAA Tournament, the first month of games feature a number of different tournaments to bet on.
The best place to bet on all the college basketball action is at your favorite offshore sportsbook operating an online betting platform. Offshore sportsbooks are regulated by their country of origin such as Costa Rica. They are not confined to the same restrictions that many US sportsbooks face on a state by state basis.
Betting college sports gets really tricky in the US market with a number of restrictions in place based on the particular state. This gives the offshore books a tremendous edge when it comes to expanding the betting options for college basketball in any number of ways.
A good example of this is college basketball conference futures. Moving to Division I ball, there are more than 30 different conferences in play. You still have the majors such as the ACC, Big Ten and Big 12 along with popular Mid-Major conferences such as the Atlantic 10, Big East and Mountain West leading the way.
With that many teams in action, you can create an expanded betting strategy that runs from the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend right through March Madness.
2021 March Madness Futures Odds
A great starting point is college basketball March Madness futures. The West Coast Conference’s Gonzaga Bulldogs are the overall favorites to win this season’s national title at +900 odds. They are followed closely by the Big Ten’s Iowa Hawkeyes and the Big East’s Villanova Wildcats at +1000.
Picking an outright winner for a national championship may be a very popular bet given the potential return. Yet, this is also a very low percentage wager when it comes to cashing a winning ticket. Betting NCAAB futures by individual conferences can raise that winning percentage with some high-value plays.
2020/21 CBB Regular Season Champion Futures
Online bookies will set betting odds for winning the regular season conference championship as well. This is determined by the best record in conference play with head-to-head tiebreakers in place.
When the annual conference tournaments roll around in early March, you will have the opportunity to bet on a tournament champion.

The ACC is shaping up as a two-team race to the regular season championship. The Virginia Cavaliers have the slight edge as +200 favorites with the Duke Blue Devils next on the list at +225. You also have the Florida State Seminoles (+450) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (+500) in the mix.
Duke is a perennial ACC contender and a proven commodity over the years. At +225, the Blue Devils would be the value play among those top four teams.

Moving to the Big 12, the Oddsmakers are big on the Baylor Bears this season. They are fourth on the list for winning the NCAA Tournament at +1200 odds. Baylor is at the top of the list to win the Big 12 regular season title at +125 betting odds. Next on the list is the Kansas Jayhawks at +200 followed by the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the West Virginia Mountaineer at +500 odds.
Much like Duke, Kansas is the team to beat in the Big 12. The Jayhawks have consistently won the regular season title for quite a few years and they offer the best value on the board to win again this season.
Those are just two examples of the various college basketball futures you can bet at your favorite offshore sportsbook taking action online. You may also be interested in betting on March Madness longshots
