The confetti has flown in Miami and the 100th year of the NFL is over, bringing a close to the biggest betting season in sports. So now what are we going to bet on?

If you’ve been a football fanatic at the sportsbook, it’s time to get up to speed on all the other odds and options you can have action on. Here’s a sportsbook review at the best bets in sports and how to wager on them.

NBA odds
In terms of popularity, the NBA picks up where the NFL left off. Professional basketball has action on the betting board nightly and thousands of ways to wager on it: from sides and totals to props and derivative markets.

The NBA is currently heading toward its annual All-Star break as well as the trade deadline, which officially kicks off the race to the postseason. There are a number of quality contenders this season – LA Lakers +250, LA Clippers +325, Milwaukee +325 – but as we saw last season with Toronto’s run to the NBA title, any team has a chance once it makes the postseason.

NCAA basketball odds
March Madness is the next big betting event on the sports calendar, starting with the conference tournaments in early March and rolling into the NCAA Tournament. The first four days of the Big Dance bring in a ton of wild wagering action, but there is a lot of homework work to be done before you build your bracket.

There are a ton of college hoops games on the board most nights and with more than 300 Division-I schools taking part, it’s impossible to follow them all. The best advice for betting NCAA basketball is to focus closely on a few conferences and get to know them very well, and don’t be afraid to study up on the smaller leagues – that’s where the best betting value lies.

NHL odds
Much like the NBA, the NHL brings hockey action to the ice on a nightly basis. The schedule offers some great hidden value when looking to wager on teams playing a series of home or away games, as the physicality of the sport plays a big role in success. Hockey bettors will want to track those trends as well as any injuries to key players.

When it comes to the NHL postseason, no sports is more unpredictable than the Stanley Cup playoffs. Lower-seeded squads often make a deep playoff run so NHL bettors will want to examine the futures odds at the end of the regular season and see which teams are riding a wave of momentum as well as a hot goaltender when the puck drops on the postseason in the spring.

XFL odds
If you just can’t get enough football, the XFL is the latest in pigskin start-ups, kicking off its return this coming weekend. The failed league survived just one season 2001 and is hoping to avoid those mistakes – and the mistakes made by last year’s AAF – in this revival.

The teams and most of the players are unknowns, but some of the coaches may be the key to discovering how these franchises figure. The league also has some unique rules that are very different from traditional football, so study those and how you can take advantage of them when wagering on XFL betting odds.
