Abstract
In this paper, we test whether accuracy in the wagering markets for NCAA Division I men׳s basketball improves when there are more betting lines available for a given game. The empirical evidence indicates that when the money line is offered, it has no impact on the accuracy of the sides line as it is a redundant security, but the offering of the totals line impacts the accuracy of the sides line. We interpret this as evidence that the totals line provides additional information to uninformed bettors that improves the accuracy of the sides line in its role as a price.
