March Madness and Big Ten action

College Basketball Betting in Maryland

College basketball offers the most market inefficiency among US sports; over 350 D-I programs means smaller operators can't price every game sharply. Maryland law allows player props on college basketball (unlike college football). The Maryland Terps and March Madness drive the most Maryland sportsbook handle.
