seems like an odd question to ask in July...

Have not lost a game in months myself.

Anything can be beat if you know it well enough. Problem is people
think that they can beat every sport.

Specialize......

NBA is my specialty. But I barely break even in college ball.

College ball is easy to beat in the small confrences and mids MAAC, and CAA are my favorites hammer them every year

I think topgame has a point here. Conferences like the ACC seem impossible to figure out.

The thing is most people bet the big confrences because they are on tv etc, if you just follow the players and games in smaller confrences you get to know the teams like they are a group of guys you play with in a pickup game you can figure out their strengths weaknesses tendencies range everything I love college ball until the tourney comes because I build up a good bankroll then get caught up in march madness and usually give it all back

My best sport. Hit 56% in about 300 plays right here in the forum last year.

fiveteamer · 07-07-08, 02:54 PM

how many units does that equal?

LT Profits · 07-07-08, 02:58 PM

166-131-10, 55.9%, +33.90

Remember that I only laid -105 on sides and totals and I had some money line dogs mixed in.

I am tailing you this year. I'd be happy with a fraction of that.

LT Profits · 07-07-08, 03:00 PM

Weren't you here last year fiveteamer?

fiveteamer · 07-07-08, 03:01 PM

no.

It is my speciality, made 30 dimes each of the last 2 years in the NCAA Tourney alone..no BS.

I live for College Hoops

Toughest sport to beat because just too many games nightly and too many teams to follow.

Almost everyone gets wiped out because of college baskets

I think there seem to be more "sharps" with a knack for college than there are pro hoops. Of course not everyone will come forward on the board but just in general from what I've observed college sports are generally easier for sharps to beat, sheer number of games, mistakes etc.

LT is easily the best college ball capper

You are right on here Crazyl. A saturday card with a 100 games on it is sure to have more bad lines than a pro card of 10-15 games.

College Hoops/Foots are my most profitable markets by far.
