Sports Betting Roundup: College Basketball Nears The End Of Its

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


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


Kansas (+10.5 at Arizona) was the second-most bet group in terms of money. It was just the second time in the Bill Self age 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 wager group to cover in regards to number of bets and the second-most bet team in terms of money. The Knicks burnt out San Antonio 114-89.


On the PGA Tour, Nico Echavarria won the Cognizant Classic for his third PGA Tour victory. He trailed by three shots with 3 holes to play, however 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.
