NIT futures odds will usually look like this:
-
Wake Forest +550
This means that on a $100 bet, you’ll stand to win $550 if the Demon Deacons win the title. If it’s close to the end of the regular season or even during the tournament and college basketball has a very dominant team, you might see that a team has a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds.
