Handicapping the college basketball post season takes on a few different approaches from just picking the winners in the regular season…

The conference tournaments are usually all played at one venue and so one team will have the advantage of the home court, otherwise all games must be considered the same as road games. The conference tourny’s will sometimes be the deciding factor for teams getting into the big dance. Although many conferences have automatic bids that go to the winner of the tourny, some will still be vying for an “at-large” bid or a higher seeding, so it is important to take these situations into consideration when handicapping…

Super Bowl Props Can Be Profitable If You Are Selective

There are sportbooks that are literally offering a book full of props on the Super Bowl. One Vegas Casino has nine pages of props. These are big money makers for the books because the average sport bettor is enticed by the money being offered and just the opportunity to have lots of action going. Unfortunately for the sport bettor, and fortunately for the book, these bettors don’t have a clue of what the true odds or the chances of each prop winning percentage.

You can make money playing these props…Last year we had 8 prop bets, we won 5 but picked up 5.5 units of profit. The first rule of playing the props is to stay away from the ridiculous or ones that have absolutely no way of anaylitically making a intelligent decision. If you take time to really look into some of these props based on statistical data or past performance you quite often can find an edge to the posted line.

Personally I like to play props that are giving me plus money or at least a very small lay of say -1.10 to -1.20 Props like who will score first or who will kick the first field goal or will a certain running back will gain 3+ yards on his first carry are all merely a guessing game…Look for props that you can intelligently anaylze…(I will continue this discussion with some specifics in my next post…)
