    read newspaper stories, read team previews, check injured players, evaluate coaching changes, evaluate exhibition games

    Stick with the teams you feel you know well from playing them last season. Factor in player departures as well as recruits coming in, and the improvement trajectories you have seen of the returning players, i.e. a returning senior who had 4.7 ppg freshman year, then 7.9 ppg sophomore, 10.1 ppg junior year, etc. Look for matchups that strongly suggest a cover by the weaker team, like a veteran mid major on the road against a major that lost some good players.

    Look for a lot of schools from the major 6 conference that lost a lot of talent/stars playing against veteran mid majors. Two that catch my eye early are Belmont and UNC greensboro

    this is a great way.
    what you do is write down all the teams you think are gonna win, then take 1 hand and cover your eyes, put a pen in the other hand and start drawing x's on the page about 25 times,then uncover your eyes and see what teams arent covered with x's.
    there you go!
    works ever time!!!

    yeah, teams playing on aircraft carriers outside at 5 pm local time will shoot like shit. sightlines are even worse than the last few Final Four arenas, i'm told. MSU/UNC under, question is whether 1H or game.

    I look for teams with returning starters and watch for coaching changes and injuries. Take the time a read team previews and try to uncover mismatches. If you do your homework the first couple of weeks you can bank some coin.

    First, stand up straight with your back against a wall, and draw a line above your head. Measure the line. Take off a few inches from your measurement. Go to store and buy the amount of fabric you need. Come home, cut two holes at the top and tie a string through them. Place around your neck.

    can't disagree with you on UNC. Sparty will struggle to score, which means they'd better slow the tempo and play physically. just reading that it should be a little chilly and windy and a lot of players probably will wear long sleeves. loving the under.

    Well cape has a few different meanings none however have anything to do with sports betting.

    1. A sleeveless outer garment fastened at the throat and worn hanging over the shoulders.
    2. A brightly colored cloth used in maneuvering the bull in a bullfight; a capote or muleta.
    3. A point or head of land projecting into a body of water.

    take the 1H under in all games played outdoors on an aircraft carrier at sundown where the chance of rain is 20% or greater. 3 unit system play.

    Solid post. But so where can I rapidly, and in one place, collect some of this key info (key player departures, etc.)? Not a ton of time to sift through everything unfortunately.
