Grand total: 9-4-1

I'm a college student and I really wanted some extra money(for obvious reasons) so I figured I would try it out...I know its a small sample size, but i have been fairly successful. I would really like any kind of advice regarding any quantitative methods anyone knows of that is applicable to picking winners or predicting point totals...any help at all would be amazing!! So far I am only using basic multiple linear regressions for my analysis, but I would LOVE more tools to add to my arsenal if possible.

Looks like your doing lots of good things so far. As far as books go for American bettors I would say 5dimes and Bet365 are probably your best bets, don't know much about Bovada at all.
As far as betting on college basketball you've come to the right place. Tons of insight here and some really sharp cappers. I would start off with the threads with the most views for insights....good luck man

bovada ok i guess, depends on what you looking for..i like keeping some money in there just cause they tend to have a ton of props and from time to time you can get extra half point or even full point or more on certain dogs where the majority is taking the fav which is always nice...easy to deposit, ive had some friends tell me they have gotten increasing slow with their payouts and then the biggest drawback is not only do they typically only have totals on televised ncaa hoops gms but they dont open their lines till like 9 am or some shit which really sux, if that dont bother you tho and you arnt trying to bet big amounts they ok..
