    Realization of College Basketball

    I've always knew this, but it really struck home when I heard a true sharp talk about how NCAAB betting is basically all sharps. I bet that playing "squares" would leave you with at least a little profit. Anybody else think that "trap lines" dont exist as much in college basketball? If everybody betting college hoops are sharps, wouldn't they just pound the other side anyway?

    It sure is interesting when you think about it. TPow, ever read Smart Money? The people in that book "Brain Trust", apparently they were winning 80% which I know it sounds fake, but they had supercomputers and a team of various people with different expertise which did for living.

    yeah if a person was decently intelligent and had a lot of time, they could be successful in this sport. When you throw in mulitple people, you've got the ability to specialize in different aspects or teams. No, I'm gonna try to pick up Smart Money when I order the Blue Ribbon NCAA basketball yearbook for this year.

    you definitely should TPow its a great book, only one I read which after finishing it, makes you more aware, and want to get a bunch more and really study this stuff and make money in it. It's possible just have to know what to look for.

    I've read Smart Money. A better book is called "The Odds." Find that and read it.

    how do you handicap teams going 55% from the line?

    There is more luck involved in gambling than people want to admit.
