At BetOnline.ag Sportsbook, the popularity of college basketball is without dispute.

All season long there’s nowhere better for college hoops action than BetOnline.ag. Side and totals plays on every game on the board, futures betting, prop betting and live betting on the marquee matchups. BetOnline.ag doesn’t stop there—we’ve got plenty of pro basketball coverage from the NBA, WNBA and international leagues from all over the world.
Basketball is one of the most widely popular sports throughout the world. Most countries have some form of professional basketball league and the NBA is followed closely on an international basis. Big time college sports, however, are a uniquely American phenomenon. Nothing illustrates this concept better than US college football but college basketball is a solid second in terms of popularity and financial clout. At some schools such as Kansas, Georgetown and Gonzaga the basketball team is the king of the university athletic department. Even at schools like Florida, Michigan and Oregon the basketball team might be secondary to football but are still a very significant revenue driver. The NCAA basketball tournament—known colloquially as ‘March Madness’--is a massive betting event for North American fans. While the Super Bowl remains the biggest single day betting event in the North American market, the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament brings in a higher total betting handle.
