NCAA Men's Basketball Middle Bets

There aren't many trending Middle Betting markets in college basketball yet, but that's mostly because many of the BetSmart tracking tools have just recently expanded to add more NCAA Basketball odds, lines and data.

Over the last 7 Days, the only trending Middle Bet market for college hoops is 1st Half Total Points, which has a 28% ROI on 77 bets in the last week. While this market isn't profitable enough yet to strongly consider, we will continue to keep an eye out for Middle markets worth following.

With a full NCAAB schedule set for Thursday, plus three Top 25 teams in action on Friday, there are a host of great betting opportunities at your disposal. Our BetSmart Middle Betting Tool is currently identifying 71* Middle Bets in men's college basketball.
