Why I like
Betting NCAA Basketball Totals
Attention college basketball fans; the time is now to
start betting on
basketball and winning. The NCAA Basketball season is hotter than ever and
there are still many games left to bet on before the conference tournaments.
There are also many great teams to bet on. This season has produced some of the
best teams in a long time and if you are not following the Top 25, you should
be! Many folks tend to overcomplicate betting basketball. Don’t do this to
yourself.

Find a great strategy, find a betting plan and stick to
it. Betting the totals is a great way to go if you like the action, and you
have no rooting interest, or you simply don’t want a rooting interest. The Top
25 is especially predictable-- when betting a Top 25 team against an
unranked—The totals are very predictable in these cases. Find a great handicapping website
that can lead you down the right basketball path when it comes to choosing
totals.
As with any sport, when betting college basketball, you
must hit in the near 52% range to beat the juice. Let’s face it, this is not
easy to do against the spread. NCAA Division 1A Basketball, has 32 conferences
with more than 300 teams, it can be overwhelming to bet this sport, especially
the spread. For this reason, we have a strategy that works, and if you follow
it, it will work for you.
1. Have
a budget. Know how much you can spend every day on college basketball and never
go over. Stick to the budget like glue! Never chase a bad bet. Just as with any
sport, not every day will go your way. When this happens, forget about it, walk
away and come back the next day.
2. Do
not bet all over the board. There are simply too many teams to keep yourself
together betting this way. Find a couple of conferences that you enjoy
following and stick with them. Handicapping five-ten teams is much easier than
50!
Totals work and here is how—It’s often easy to get caught up
with great teams such as Gonzaga. The Zags are the number 4 team in the nation
on the Top 25, and they are the highest scoring team in all of Division I
basketball with just over 91. Points per game. These guys get after it on
nearly a nightly basis and they are beating the pants off people. Now, one
might be quick to think that Gonzaga is always the easy “over” the total but
think again. A great example is the recent contest between Saint Mary’s--- The
total in this game was 150. The final score in this game was 94-46. Gonzaga
scored just over their average but were nails against a much less talented
team. This game went under the total by 10 points.

The Gonzaga example is a great example of a game with value
on the total. This one was easy to spot because of the disparity between the
two teams.
Note: Do not get caught up in the past. This strategy hardly
ever works when betting on college basketball and especially the totals. The
spread in the Gonzaga game went off the board at Gonzaga -17. Many bettors
thought this was too many points against a team that has given the Zags
trouble. Saint Mary’s has beaten Gonzaga very little in the last couple of
years and when handicapping; it’s about now.
