wedn ncaa baskets An 0-2 Day yesterday:( Wisconsin lost the game as a 8.5 pt favorite. Except for the 1st few min of the game when they lead by 10 they never even got close to covering. Bradley pick could of gone either way. Bradley was ahead most of the game but the game narrowed and they lost by 1. If you were fortunate enough to have gotten +1 or +1.5 you got a tie or a win. Since I usually bet the overnights it was a loss for me.
Its a rare day today and nothing I can see despite a big slate in college baskets.
I did receive the following email that I think is worth sharing:
"In your experience, is it better to bet the overnights early or wait to closer to tip-off?"
My response:
"I prefer wagering on the overnights but only for ncaa baskets. In the other sports I am almost exclusively a dog bettor combined with taking public sentiment into consideration. So on the other sports usually the longer you wait the better.
In baskets I like to do my analysis 4 times. 1. Overnight 2. when I get up around 5 am. 3. around 8:30 am after the 8 to 8:30 steam comes in and if I get home early enough from the Bellagio around 3:45 pm again after the late steam.
There are betting syndicates that place there wagers usually around those times and that is why you see the line jumps twice a day...both within a 30 min time frame.
I like to fade the steam if it places the line within my play parameters for the game.
I hope that answers your question."
As always I will update my blog and twitter if anything develops throughout the day along with the overnights around 7 pm pst.
Good Luck Today
