Tar Heels basketball odds: How to read point spread, moneyline, total
Here is an example of what a point spread, moneyline, total on a UNC hoops game may look like, followed by a quick tutorial on how to read these odds.
Moneyline
Bets made on the moneyline only require your team to win outright. There is no point spread involved. A $100 bet on underdog NC State will pay out $250 and your original stake back if the Wolfpack win. A $300 bet on favored UNC will return $100 and your stake back if the Tar Heels win.
Spread
In our example, UNC is favored by seven points at standard -110 odds. A $110 bet on the Tar Heels will pay out $100 and your stake back if the Tar Heels win by at least eight points to cover the spread. Conversely, a $110 bet on NC State will return $100 if the Wolfpack win or lose by no more than six points.
Total
The total is the combined number of points scored by both teams. You're betting UNDER or OVER 154.5 total points being scored in this example at -110 odds.

Betting options for Tar Heels Basketball
As mentioned, there are several different ways to bet on UNC basketball odds. Let's examine the various bet types outside of the basic lines described above, and explain how they work at top-rated sportsbooks.
Parlays
A parlay involves betting on multiple outcomes in a single wager. For example, let's say you bet UNC -7 and OVER 154.5 points. A $100 bet will return $260 (and your stake back) if both of those outcomes happen. The more outcomes or legs your parlay includes, the more difficult it will be to win. But you'll also be rewarded at longer odds if they all hit. Given standard -110 odds on all legs, a three-team parlay will pay out +600, so a $100 bet will return $600 in winnings (and your stake back).
Prop bets
Prop bets are available on both teams and players. You're betting on something that doesn't involve the actual outcome of the game. For example, you can bet on NC State or UNC to reach 20 points first. For player props, you can wager on the number of points, assists, rebounds recorded by a player in the game.
UNC guard R.J. Davis leads all ACC players in scoring with 21 points per game. This player prop requires Davis to score at least 21 for the OVER to cash. UNDER bettors need Davis to score a maximum of 20 points to win. At -115 odds on both sides of the bet, a $115 bet will return $100 if it hits.
Live betting
Live bets are placed after a game has started. New odds are offered on a real-time basis depending on how the game is playing out. You can make live bets on the spread, moneyline, total, and more.
Futures
We touched on futures above with odds on all NCAA teams to win the 2024 National Championship. There are different futures odds offered on UNC basketball including the Tar Heels to make the Final Four and win the ACC Championship.
