HOW WE RUN IT

How We Keep the Futures Board Accurate

College basketball futures markets run long — sometimes six months from open to settlement. We hold ourselves to a consistent standard so the odds you see reflect real market movement, not stale lines.

Odds Source Transparency Futures lines on the College Basketball Odds Board are sourced from live market feeds and updated after major conference results, coaching changes, and ranked team movement.
Settlement by Official Result Markets settle based on the official NCAA outcome. We do not settle early or on unofficial sources — national champion and conference winner markets wait for the final result.
State Eligibility Checks Futures markets are only available where state law permits online sports wagering. Your account location is verified at login so you only see markets you're eligible to place.
Account Record Keeping Open futures positions stay visible in your account wallet the entire time they're active. You won't lose track of a bet placed in November that settles in April.
calottery Inside Our College Basketball Futures Board

Inside Our College Basketball Futures Board

Our futures board opens in preseason and stays live through Championship Week, letting you track how odds shift after conference play shakes out. You'll find markets on the national champion, each major conference winner — ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, Pac-12 — plus individual awards like Player of the Year. The College Basketball Odds Board updates as ranked matchups land and

injury news breaks. Odds are displayed in American moneyline format. Position size, market availability, and settlement timing all follow the rules of your eligible state. Players in Columbus have used the board to shop early lines before bracket season tightens the spreads.

College Basketball Futures Glossary

New to futures wagering? These are the terms that come up most when you're working through the college basketball odds board for the first time.

01
What is a futures bet in college basketball?

A futures bet is a wager placed on an outcome that won't be decided until later — like picking the national champion before the season ends. Odds shift as the season progresses.

02
What does moneyline mean in a futures market?

Moneyline odds show your potential profit on a $100 stake. A +800 line means a $100 wager returns $800 profit if that team wins the championship. Negative numbers show what you risk to win $100.

03
What is a conference winner market?

A conference winner market lets you bet on which team will win a specific conference — the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, or Big 12, for example — before the conference tournament concludes.

04
What does 'action' mean when a futures bet is placed?

A bet marked 'action' means it stands regardless of roster changes. If a key player transfers, your futures position on that team remains live unless the market rules say otherwise.

05
What is the Player of the Year market?

This futures market covers individual award odds — you're betting on which college basketball player wins the national Player of the Year award, typically the Wooden Award or AP honor.

06
What does 'settlement date' mean for a futures wager?

Settlement date is when the market officially closes and payouts are calculated. For college basketball, the national champion market settles after the NCAA Championship game result is confirmed.

What You're Asking About the Futures Board

These are the questions we hear most from people working through our college basketball futures market for the first time.

Our futures board for college basketball opens in the preseason, typically when major conference schedules are released. Lines on national champion odds are among the first markets posted and stay live through Championship Week.

Yes. The College Basketball Odds Board carries conference winner markets for the major conferences — ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, and others — as long as those markets are available in your eligible state.

Your locked-in odds don't change after you place the wager. The lines displayed on the board shift as results come in, but your ticket holds the odds that were active when you confirmed your position.

Open your account history from the account menu. Every active futures wager shows the market name, the odds at the time of placement, and the projected payout — all visible from your mobile account or desktop browser.

Market rules vary by event. If a team is disqualified or withdraws before the market settles, the outcome follows the posted house rules for that specific market. Check the market rules tab before placing the wager.

Availability depends entirely on state law. You'll only see futures markets you're eligible to access based on your verified account location. States where online sports wagering isn't permitted won't have access to these markets.
