    Only the most compulsive gambler will bet College Basket on Monday

    Trust me, it's better to wait until late December or January. College basketball is way too unpredictable to cap in November fellas. Save you ammo for football only

    I've found it profitable last few years in the first week to blindly lay huge points (talking 25 minimum) on high profile teams opening against the shit of shit

    I don't see any of those up yet

    Valpo is definitely the play

    Zona lost to D 2 Seattle-Pacific in an exhibition game
    http://www.azcentral.com/sports/ua/a...e-pacific.html
    They beat D 2 Humboldt State by just 9
    http://tucsoncitizen.com/wildcatrepo...-blog-pregame/

    They are still jumbling around lineups with 3 returning starters from last year

    Betting on college basketball today doesn't make you compulsive. And sitting around wasting a whole month is stupid.

    I'll be on Arizona, but not a lock by any means. Arizona has looked very shaky so far. Looking for an offensive identity. I think Miller was making them run sets and messing with the rotation, etc. So the exhibition results aren't a true tell of Arizona's game. Valpo isn't a good team, and Arizona has ridiculous talent and runs 10 deep (maybe more). Meaning Arizona usually runs their opponent off the court in the last 10 minutes, as their opponents are sucking air, while they are reasonably fresh.

    I'd be comfortable with Arizona all the way to -17.

    We shall see. BOL.

    I agree with Frosto......I will be watching alot of college hoops next few months, but won't start wagering until January.
    Too much unpredictablity at this point in the game.

    For the last couple weeks, I did very well on NHL during weekdays, then weekend gave back all plus more on Football (both College and NFL).
    Football is worst sport to wagering on IMO

    If I see value I will take it.
    I dont care when. In July on Jupiter is OK. A good line or total is always an opportunity.

    I disagree but I am passing tonight simply because there is no value in the lines, lean towards william and mary.

    Actually, the first month or two is the time to find soft lines and exploit them.

    If you educate yourself properly on the teams, you can have a leg up on oddsmakers before they adjust. The key, though, is to do the legwork.

    Remember NC.....anything you have to educate yourself on the teams, the oddsmakers have 10x the resources and information to set the lines properly. If your simply handicapping games, then there is no leg up.

    I wish you the best of luck though.

    Best time of the year to pick out winners if you conduct proper research. Look for suspicious line movements and evaluate the the chemistry and tempo that the teams play with and you should be able to pick out the value plays early on. BOL to all this season

    Be careful looking into the preseason to much. The high profile teams like Arizona treat it as a glorified scrimmage. Remember when Syracuse lost to D2 Lemoyne in the preseason? The result was a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

    But what is more important is they opened the season in the 2k Sports Classic at home Vs Albany as 20 point favorites. The line SHOULD have been bigger but because they lost in the preseason to a D2 team it was not inflated and there was value there. Result was about a 35-40 point Syracuse win. If you like Arizona there is GREAT value here as everyone in the world say they lost to a D2 team.

    Just saying

    Arizona losing in the preseason to D2 teams means NOTHING.
    Jack squat. Zilch.
    Valpo stinks. Their defense is horrible. They can score a bit but I expect Arizona to neutralize them in the paint. Arizona is a top 15 team.
    I would definitely lean Arizona on that one.

    Disagree. In fact sharps make most their money in college hoops early. As the books gain more information and conference play begins the opportunities decrease.

    College Basketball is the only sports I annually make profit on, and once conference plays start, that when it's the easiest all the way until the conference Tournament. Especially when you betting on the low profile conferences like the Mac, MAAC, Sun Belt, A10, and Missouri Valley. If any of you are smart, stay away from them BCS schools or rank teams, if you want to find soft lines.
