| Publisher Description: Fans that wager on college basketball can become consistent winners and still gain the full entertainment value of both watching the games and wagering. By applying a little extra effort to handicap games and place wagers intelligently, the losses of the average fan can be turned into significant winnings. If you are a fan are ready to spend some time handicapping - maybe 20 minutes - you can win consistently. By using a systematic handicapping and wagering process that makes the best use of your time, you can gain an advantage. Examples of the most powerful techniques for gaining a consistent wagering advantage are: - Specializing in point-spread wagers rather than totals, futures, interactive, and exotic propositions. - Projecting a team's play based on past performance against teams comparable to the next opponent, not all teams. - Analyzing a team's performance trend by focusing on the last 10 games. - Systematically varying the amounts wagered to reflect your perceived advantage - the difference between the outcome that you forecast for the game and the point spread. - Doing business with sports books with offer you a tangible advantage in terms of how early they accept wagers as well as the propositions they handle and transaction fees (vigorish) they charge. - For each desired wager, "shop" among sports books for the most favorable terms - both the point spread and the moneyline. |
