College Basketball Picks: The Best Chance to Win ATS
November 18, 2009
The NCAA basketball season in under way. College basketball gives the sports gaming community the best chance to be successful. I have found over the course of my 15 years as an expert handicapper, that betting on college hoops gives you the best opportunity to find winning picks.
There are so many teams playing at different levels in NCAAB. Many people don’t realize that the more games that are on the board, the better chance you have of finding a line discrepancy or value for your bet. This is the most important part of making sports predictions. Putting your money down on a game that gives you the greatest chance of winning is what we are all looking for. On a typical Saturday in college basketball there are well over 50 games. If you have read some of my previous articles on betting, then you will know that this affords us a chance to spread our money out on several match-ups that offer point spread value and situational advantages.
Many gamblers believe in finding 1 or 2 games that they like, and “loading up” on them. In reality, if you can find 5 or more that fit my guidelines you have a greater chance for success. Have a dollar figure in mind before you place a wager. This figure should be a small percentage of your overall bankroll. After you have done your homework and found the games that fit the criteria, spread that money amongst those picks evenly. Again, there is no such thing as a lock. Betting a limited amount of games puts bettors at a disadvantage. There is a “human” element in all sports games that may affect the outcome for better or worse. Don’t have all of your eggs in one basket with a large portion of your bankroll on any single bet.
You will be the recipient of “bad beats”. It is inevitable and almost impossible to avoid. Having your money spread out will limit the damage that can be done by these “bad beats”. Over the course of the year, you will find that your consistency level increases with this method. Those weeks when you lost your entire bankroll won’t happen any longer. Remember, you need to stay on top of the sport you are betting. Making successful NFL, NCAAF, NCAAB, MLB, and NBA picks takes a tremendous amount of patience and diligence. Put the time in and you will be rewarded.
