    It's too tough to beat the tourny lines

    Many players will take THUR and FRI off to gamble exclusively on these games. The books know this and take it up a notch bringing in many consultants to get the toughest lines possible.

    Many players will go BIG and get hurt bad!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now is not a time to go BIG, lines are too tough.

    If you have money left. CASH OUT!!!

    THIS WILL BE MY ONLY TRANSMISSION WARNING YOU OFF THE DANGERS IN GAMBLING ON POST SEASON CBB GAMES.

    every game is 50-50 and over the 63 games, it's very beatable.. it's even possible to go 47-16 over those 63 games... however, it's over 6300 games that it now becomes unbeatable..

    The Volume of the bets in the tourney combined with the fact that many regular bettors go bigger in the post-season, means that the books don't need to worry about the lines being sharper like the OP stated they did.

    they just need lines that split the action, and let the Sharps shape the lines.

    the market is alot more efficient during post-season hoops.

    secondly the books don't have to worry about 116 saturday college hoops games with the likes of the Citadel and Kennesaw St. squaring off. those are the games books can get hammered on, because some big time professional gamblers might actually get more info and good inside info on those games then the books can.

    there are alot less games and time in between them to allow the books to move lines where they need to, without worrying too much about the openers. in the tourney you only have like 4 games tipping of at the same time at any given time. unlike a wed or saturday in college hoops where you have 20 or 30 tipping off at the same time.

    There's always edges out there when you're talking about a bunch of games on the board in one day or weekend. There's no way possible every single line is sharp.

    If every line was so perfect then none would move an inch. At the very least, if lines move more than a point there has gotta be value in either the opener or the closer, or both. Not easy to find, but not impossible.

    Now is the time to bet underdog moneylines of games with lines around +150. We all know there's a shit ton of upsets and being in neutral courts helps a lot

    NIT, CIT, CBI value can be found

    but the big teams in the big dance give the bettor no chance.

    The lines have moved a ton.

    many people are sitting very pretty on positions 2-3 or more points better than the closer will be

    Ncaa openers are soft for the tourney, the market shapes the line

    Big moves will go 50/50 at best.

    Nearly every total bet lower. Historically totals have been 50/50. There is no bias to over or under in these games.

    OK so if a line moves from pk to -3, what is 50/50 -- pk or -3?

    My objective from here on out is to get to the first pitch of bases season with bankroll intact. Of course would like to increase it a bit, but won't get greedy. Historically, this has been done by understanding that with public now onboard you must look closely at potential dog plays the first 2 days. Belmont is one example. Just pick your spots and don't get greedy, unless you are a real pro. Good Luck boys don't lose your shirt.
