    Is college basketball the ultimate junkie sport?

    It seems like it's the sport most responsible for sending people to Gamblers Anonymous.

    yeah its my worst sport and i lose money every single year on college hoops. Every year, it never fails. This year i'm going to try to have some self control lol.

    Its perfect for action junkies b/c the games are only 2 hours long and there are so many teams to bet on .

    I thiink its way easier to gamble on than NBA. Sure, there are upsets every now and again in college, but the pros are way more random. I like betting NCAA. And if I lose i just double down.

    All Hoops actually is because of amount of points scored

    Lower scoring sports easier to cape

    I didn't really think about it until I heard Artie Lange talking about it the other day.

    I don't play much college hoops.

    yeah this hit. but i had to sweat it out. at the 10:00 of the second half i had 50.5 pts to spare but then that bald baylor coach kept fouling late and i had to dodge a couple of 3's. snuck out with the win by a few pts
