Sports betting lines on college basketball games present more chances to make money than any other type of sports betting lines. Conversely, with so many games on the sports betting odds board in college hoops, there is more potential to lose control if you are not careful.
SPORTSBOOK BETTING LINES
Sports betting lines during the college basketball season can be mind boggling at times. There are far more college basketball betting lines on the sports betting odds board than in any other sport. Just think about it for a moment. There can be as many games in college basketball on the sports betting odds board in one week as there are in an entire NFL season. You might have 300 games in a single week on the college basketball sports betting odds board. If you want to make money at college basketball sports betting then you really must have an idea of what you are going to do in terms of handicapping and in terms of money management. Keep in mind that there are nearly 300 teams on the college basketball sports betting board and many of them are well off the radar.
Just as is the case in other sports betting, the public will look to traditional power teams. Teams such as Duke, North Carolina, Illinois, Kansas, UCLA, Florida and others are teams that the masses are familiar with and respect, which means that such teams often carry little or no value, particularly when they are cast in the role of heavy favorites. The good news is that with so many teams and so many games on the college basketball sports betting board, you can find hidden gems and bargains. Even the basketball sports betting oddsmakers, good as they are, will make mistakes on lines with so many teams and games. The danger is that you will fall into the trap of the NCAA basketball gambling public and bet on too many games, and have your bankroll decimated in short order. You must be selective and have a serious plan of attack if you want to win at NCAA basketball sports betting.
There is no doubt that NCAA basketball provides the most opportunities to make money in sports betting. Always remember though that with opportunity for profit comes opportunity for loss if you are not very careful and disciplined with your sports betting.
