How can you tap into hot college basketball betting line action through VIPSports.com? First of all, you can engage in a simple pointspread or over/under wager. A pointspread is a sports book correction designed to even the betting odds of a contest. If, for instance, the Los Angeles Lakers play the New York Knicks in a contest, and if the Lakers are favored to win by 10 points, the pointspread would accommodate for those odds.

Over/under wagering works much the same way for college basketball. If the University of Connecticut is playing North Carolina, and UConn is favorite to win, you may have to place more money to win on the UConn side. For instance, if the line reads UConn negative 10, North Carolina positive 10, UConn must beat North Carolina by at least 11 points in order for the wager to win.

If your pointspread or under/over wager ends up right on the number, the bet is considered non-actionable and may be referred to as a "push" bet. Another way to place wagers on college basketball games is to take a stab at the total number of points two teams will score in a given game. You can make an over/under wager regarding the combined final score and then just root against the defense the entire time (assuming you choose the over line).

If an NCAA basketball contest ends before the final quarter, certain bets may not be considered action. A game must last at least 35 minutes in order for the majority of wagers to count.
