What Is A College Basketball Parlay
A College Basketball Parlay is a bet in which you combine multiple college basketball picks into one bet to increase your odds if you win. Aside from straight betting, which is wagering on one selection, college basketball parlays are the next most popular wager.
The two main reasons for their popularity are the increased odds if you win a parlay, and also with the sheer number of college basketball games being played simultaneously, it’s impossible to wager on every game with a straight bet. Wagering on a college parlay allows you to have an interest in multiple games while multiplying their combined odds to calculate your college basketball parlay odds.
College basketball parlay bets are great options for bettors who prefer to wager smaller amounts at greater odds. Most bettors will include picks against the spread and totals, which typically have odds around -110 or -120. With these selections, a three-team parlay typically pays around 6/1 (+600) with a four-team parlay paying around 12/1 (+1200)

How To Win A College Basketball Parlay
College basketball parlay bets despite their popularity can be one of the most difficult bets to win, with the difficulty increasing with each selection you add to your parlay.
College basketball differs from the NBA with its scheduling, and sees much less parity, particularly throughout the regular season. With this you see crazy odds, in some cases, no Money line is offered and spreads as high as -25 or above. This presents difficulties when trying to win a parlay so so here are three quick tips to consider ahead of your college basketball parlays.
- Keep to either a 2, 3, or 4 team parlay – More selections than these are great for fun longshot parlay picks, but it’s tough to keep profitable long term with 5,6,7+ selections, despite the increased parlay odds.
- Shop The Odds – Online sportsbooks compete to offer the best odds and betting lines, and while there may only be a marginal difference in each selection, it adds up in a college basketball parlay. If you can wager three picks at -105 each instead of -120, for example, your payout would be $744.21 instead of $616.20 to a $100 stake.
- Managing Your Bankroll – It’s obvious, and not unique to college basketball parlays, but your bankroll should be considered all the time. Being disciplined with your bankroll is key to seeing long-term success with all bets but particularly with college basketball parlays. Not all parlays will win, that’s part of sports betting, but if you keep your stake consistent, with four-team parlays at odds of around +1200, you only need to win 1 in 12 parlays to break even, any better than that is profit.
