    Can someone give me a crash course in college hoops?

    I haven't bet on a game all year.

    I haven't watched a game all year.

    What do I need to know?

    Who are the hot handicappers to tail?

    Thanks.

    What's the record on this?

    12-4 Under so far this year, damn 2 OT game not long ago sent one over. The real strong streak is taking under for UK home games.

    UK is all about defense and public is always on the Over in these games. I'm all about line movement and nearly every time public is on the over in a UK home game it seems like.

    yeah, I was going to say the same thing. You been around the block so it would definitely seem likely to even out as we have seen before. Probably don't want to tail it now but watch those games, keep an eye on those totals. I know my wildcats and under is the way to go. Last game was close to going over because UK was shooting pretty solid numbers. Game before that went over because of 2 freaking OTs. I lost big on that one too, some shit. Game was still under in the first OT and each team scored 4pts lol

    Home teams have a huge advantage.

    Never bet on Louisville... they cant shoot.

    Never bet on Ohio State on the road. They are a bad shooting team at home but horrible shooting on the road.


    Mizzou is terrible offensively.

    Notre Dame gets punked by phsycial/ athletic teams.


    Baylor is solid at home.

    Watching games helps a lot!

    Here's a tip The Giant, when two #3 seeds play each other bit, one of those #3 seeds has home court advantage....
    Take the home team to cover the 4!!!

    Giant,

    Look for home dogs versus ranked teams. Going on the road in CBB environments isn't always easy.

    Pick about 20-25 teams and follow them. Cannot cap all 80-100 games Saturdays so stick the ones you know.

    Expect bad beats, these fukking college kids are dumber than Seaweed. Don't even watch the fukking games tbh.

    Every game is individual; sometimes a team plays better than they are, sometimes they play exactly, and sometimes they play worse. Never know until the game starts. As for 1 guideline, going against all the popular teams is not bad.

    Splurge on Kenpom for the 20 bux.

    The tempo ratings and number of possessions shown for each game are worth 10x the $20 alone for O/Us but the match up data is very easy to read where the advantages are too.

    For instance here are some reasons I like St John's tonight.

    St John's should own the interior.Marquette relies mostly on 2 point shots and gets their shots blocked a lot(214th).Obekpa is arguably the best shot blocker in college.He actually was best in 2013 and 3rd in 2014.As a team they're 4th in country in avg blocked shots per game due to Pointer being a capable too.Marquette likes to get the ball stolen (152nd) while the Johnnies like to steal the ball , 15th in country.That's a team effort with 6 guys averaging a steal or 2 a game.

    If Marquette has strengths on defense it is defending the 3 plus steal and turnover %. St John's doesn't shoot the 3 much and is 9th in the country in turnover %.

    I don't know how they lost to Depaul last game.They had held Depaul to 23 points 2 minutes into the 2nd half .I guess Pointer, Harrison, and Obekpa were all in foul trouble with Pointer fouling out not even playing in OT.

    Also St John's is one of the most experienced teams in the nation (9th) while Marquette is 116th.Their starting 5 is 3 seniors a junior and a soph.This is a big game for them to get back on track.They should control this game , the only cause for concern is that they have Duke coming up next on Saturday but hard to see them looking past a conference game.


    This is just scratching the surface on info available that you don't get on the free version.

    Almost every sports gambler gets destroyed in college basketball… Too many games and it's every night as proven a losing proposition
