NCAA Basketball
March 8th 2011 19:32
Well I am going to start by saying last night’s free play was a real solid one with Houston getting the easy cover against a struggling Sacramento team. Like I said I was going to put that in my paid play package but I wanted my readers on my blog to cash that one since I did struggle the two plays before that. My paid plays have been on an amazing run. I am 7-0 my last 7 paid plays while going 5-0 my last five Top Plays. I have one paid play up tonight and that is my College Basketball Top Play today. I do not have a free play to give out today. Looking over the games I wanted to play North Texas but I am a backing off with how many of the favorites seem to be going down and we are not even talking about not covering the line they are losing outright. So I am going to talk a little bit about that today.
I have had some real good success over the past week with my paid plays with all of the conference tournaments going on. We have seen a lot of the top seeded team get knocked off and blow their chance of making it to the NCAA Tournament. Look at last night as we saw St. Peters beat Fairfield the top seed two days ago then go up against Iona as an 8 point dog and win outright. We saw Old dominion take care of #25 ranked George Mason the other day then get by VCU last night to punch their ticket. Indiana State went out on Sunday and got by top seed Missouri State to punch their ticket and the list goes on.
We are seeing these better teams struggle due to them beating these other teams earlier in the season and then having too much confidence when they meet again. I said it yesterday in another blog it is very hard to beat a team three times in one season and that is not just for basketball that happens in football also. These teams make the adjustments when it comes time to play the team for the third time and it makes it a lot harder for that team going for a sweep of three games. As sports handicapper that is a great time to jump on those underdogs especially at this time of year since the public likes to bet the conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament. If the public is betting a team that is going for that three game sweep and the line is going up we are gaining value due to this and it is just another tool that gives us an edge when handicapping the games.
Example: Everyone can see my previous picks from the night before if they go to my page of plays up for sale. Last night I had North Texas to get by W. Kentucky and I go the line at -1. By the time that game started last night it was at North Texas 1. The public wanted to bet W. Kentucky since they just beat North Texas a few weeks ago and look what the final result was.
This is the time of year for you to really make some cash in College Basketball since the public will bet the top seeds and the favorites most of the time. Now that we are getting into the big conferences watch and see how many of the big name teams get hammered by public action and that underdog who has nothing to lose because if they do lose will most likely end up going home so they will make every attempt to play competitive basketball in hopes of keeping their season alive. There are a lot of the bigger schools who do not play with a lot of confidence because they know they will get an at large bid to the tournament if they lose a game so to them it does not matter at times because they already know they are in.
What I am saying is that this is a good chance for people to put some extra cash in your pocket to start the summer with and use it to take the family on vacation. Think about the psychology of the game for the tournament and use that as a handicapping tool and what the public is doing since that can help you make some money to pay for that vacation. If you do not have the time to put the work in to handicapping the game then look for blogs or sites that give free plays and good info that can help you but remember those free plays are free for a reason. Majority of handicappers give those free plays because they do not meet all the standards as a paid play. So no matter what you do to make some cash on the NCAA tournament if it using free plays or paid plays or doing the work yourself remember to be smart with money management since you can easily lose that money as fast as you won it.
I really hope everyone understand what I am trying to get across here by giving a few pointers on what to look for in the next few weeks of college basketball and how to make some good money and smart investments for the next few weeks. I will be back tomorrow with another free play winner for everyone. Hope you all have a great night.
