The NBA, aside from the playoffs, is a complete crapshoot. The season is too long, more than 50% of the league makes the playoffs rendering a Minnesota/Atlanta Wednesday night game (for example) basically an exhibition. Too many teams taking the night off in this sport, you see favorites get blown out fairly regularly due to this.
College basketball can be quite profitable if you spot-bet and look for soft lines. There are usually at least a couple obviously soft lines that cash throughout the course of a week in college hoops. Especially if you get to know the smaller conferences. Unfortunately, I'm an action junky so while it is easy for me to preach this advice, I have difficulty staying disciplined.
