When it comes to college basketball betting, no one system can assist you in turning a profit, better than fading public handicapping trends. Essentially, the system requires that what ever the public is doing, you do the opposite. This allows for you to find value on the betting lines, because some sportsbooks will offer you better value then others. Here is a bookie software guide to college basketball and public trends.

The public typically bets on the favorites in each game, as these are the teams expected to win the games. In our betting system we mentioned earlier, we are looking at college basketball teams favored by six or more points with public support of 75 percent or higher. The system has found, that in this scenario, favorites have won 46.1 percent of the time, while the underdog has won 53.9 percent of the time. Meaning to say, if you are handicapping college basketball on the premise of fading the public, having a win percent rate of 53.9 will turn you a profit in the long run.

In the world of sports betting in general, if you can win at least 50 percent of your bets, you are considered a good bettor. By winning 54 percent by using the system we mentioned earlier, you can turn a very good profit by the end of the season. To put this into perspective, consider, that if you win only 46 of your 100 bets, over the season, you stand to lose $1,340. Yet, if you are winning 54 percent through the system, you can turn a profit of $340 by seasons end. What’s important to consider is how teams fare at home and on the road. Road underdogs have a tendency to perform well away from home, because there is less pressure to come out on top.
