Betting Strategies for the Northeastern Conference Tournament
Go all-in on the Northeastern Conference Tournament with no limits.
Dive into player prop odds for every NEC Conference tournament game.
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. - The NEC Tournament kicks off on Wednesday with all games taking place on home courts.
Here's a look at how various states' betting rules may affect your action on the tournament.
Placing Bets in New York
With three NEC teams located in New York (Long Island Sharks, Le Moyne Dolphins, Wagner Seahawks), there are a couple of key betting restrictions to consider. New York prohibits wagering on any NY-based college team or any game, in or out of state, involving a team from New York.
If you're a bettor in New York, both online and in-person sportsbooks like BetOnline.ag allow bets on New York-based college basketball teams. However, accessing player props for the home teams may require offshore betting sites for the most options.
The Pennsylvania Way
Two NEC teams call Pennsylvania home: Mercyhurst Lakers and St. Francis Red Flash. In Pennsylvania, regulated sportsbooks are not permitted to offer college player prop odds for any team across the nation. To get your hands on player props for Mercyhurst and St. Francis, go offshore!
Betting on Fairleigh Dickinson in New Jersey
If you're betting from New Jersey, they're infamous for imposing strict college sports betting regulations. Fairleigh Dickinson, for example, is restricted at New Jersey sportsbooks due to the state's ban on betting on in-state college teams or events held in the state, regardless of whether the teams are involved.
Stonehill Betting in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, the only issue with Stonehill betting is the lack of Stonehill player prop odds at regulated sportsbooks. Massachusetts online sportsbooks can offer player props accessible offshore to provide a more diverse selection.
Staking Chicago State Player Props in Illinois
Bettors in Chicago can put their money on Chicago State, but they'll have to place bets in-person, as part of the state's "in-person only college betting" rule. Chicago State player props are not typically available at these in-person sportsbooks.
