Lost in March Madness

KeithRichard · Mar 23, 2013

Ok guys as many of you probably know I have been around here for quite a few years. I'm old as dirt and have played at many many sportbooks. I have had my fair share of success betting NFL, MLB, and some college football along with a few other props bets occasionally.
What I have never done is figured out how to bet college basketball and have an edge betting it. Haven't bet 1 game this season and itchy to bet some of these March Madness contests. Anybody got any tips or suggestions on how to handicap these games? All replies are welcome even wise ass remarks. (<)<

Since you say that you have never figured out betting college basketball, March Madness is one of the most difficult times to learn. That being said, however, consider watching the first half of each game so that you get a feel of each team. After having watched for the first half, then consider making a wager on the second half. This way you can learn about the teams as you go and enjoy making a bet when you think you have a feel for how a particular game is being played. Best of luck!

Thank you Ted. Good advice indeed.You would think I would I have thought of trying this as I often bet 2nd halves in NFL and NBA. In fact probably my most profitable form of betting.No reason not to try that. Thanks again.
