When betting on NCAA basketball, it’s important to know that the favored team wins more often than it would in the NBA, and the odds will reflect this. So betting on the underdog can lead to some serious money. This is particularly true during March Madness. During the NCAA tournament, it’s not a question of if major upsets will happen. It’s when. Betters across the world all try to predict this year’s “Cinderella Story” and find the team that will shock the world.
The NBA provides slightly different action. The top end teams will win about 70-80% of their games during the regular season. They will also win about 80-90% of their home games. The bottom class of the NBA teams will likely win less than 20% of their games.
The NBA playoffs consist of 4 best-of-seven series to determine a champion, unlike the NCAA single game/ lose-and-go-home format. This means you’re extremely unlikely to see a major upset in the results of a series. But the underdog team can certainly win a single game, at any given time.
