Sports Betting Roundup: College Basketball Nears The End Of Its

In a relatively sluggish weekend for sports, the NHL and NBA routine seasons rolled along as college basketball nears completion of the routine season and the start of conference competitions.


On Saturday, Duke (-9.5 vs. Virginia) was the most bet group at BetMGM in regards to cash. The Blue Devils rolled to a 77-51 win, which clinched a minimum of a share of the ACC regular-season title.


Kansas (+10.5 at Arizona) was the second-most bet team in terms of money. It was simply the 2nd time in the Bill Self period that the Jayhawks were a double-digit underdog. Arizona pulled away for an 84-61 win to easily cover the spread.


In the NBA on Sunday, the Spurs (+1.5 at New York City) were the most bet team to cover in terms of number of bets and the second-most bet group in terms of cash. The Knicks burnt out San Antonio 114-89.


On the PGA Tour, Nico Echavarria won the Cognizant Classic for his 3rd PGA Tour success. He trailed by 3 shots with three holes to play, but Shane Lowry made back-to-back double bogeys to permit Echavarria to come from behind and win. He finished at 17 under, which was excellent for a two-shot victory. Entering into the competition, he was +5000 to win. In pretournament outright winner wagering, he took in 2.3% of the bets and 2.8% of the cash.
