Similar to other sports, the majority of online oddsmakers post College Basketball Futures shortly after the conclusion of the season. The betting market usually gets a spike of popularity in May or June, which is when some of the top players decided to forego their college basketball eligibility and put themselves into the NBA Draft. Once a player decides to become a professional, he cannot return and continue his amateur status. Some bettors have a knack of forecasting who’s returning and leaving, which could create a huge advantage over the oddsmakers. Knowing that a team will be more experienced is a huge advantage in the College Basketball Futures market.
