We’ve had a fantastic start to the season in college basketball. Good day yesterday going 1-0-1 in college basketball, and we also hit on our NFL play with the Lions -4.5. Had a rough push on the Memphis Tigers -2 due to some missed free throws late, but I’m not going to ever complain about a 2-0 day. I would say this is an unusual start, but in all honesty, I picked at over 70% last year in college basketball REGULAR SEASON. I did not do nearly as well in the conference tournaments nor the NCAA tournament. I’ve come to learn lately that the post season tournaments are becoming more and more unpredictable. My goal this season will be to make as much profit as possible in the regular season, and then pick my spots in the post season on some really good positions.
Season Summary As of December 16th, 2023
Overall College Basketball Record: 15-4 (78.9%, +21.2 Units) | Parlays = +15.0 Units
Last weekend in college basketball I went 4-4 on Saturday, however I hit a 3-team moneyline parlay that paid 15 to 1. Overall College Record thus far on straight bets is 15-4. Add those two together and you have a +36.2 unit start to the season if you have followed all my plays.
As of right now all my plays are free, so enjoy them. However, if you are making money on my plays and you’d like to tip me, my venmo is: @dylanlieck
Understand that at some point in the future my plays will cost money, but for now you can enjoy the for free, and hopefully make money.
College Basketball Tips For December/Early January:
Because my goal is to help people improve their sportsbetting I just wanted to provide a few tips for betting college basketball the rest of the season. Today’s tip is going to be regarding betting these games in the middle of December and into January. Normally I would say 90-95% of my bets in college basketball focus on finding value in home teams. Home court value in college basketball is under rated by the market, and still has yet to adjust. It’s the most valuable advantage to a point spread in any sport. The only time I like betting road teams, is when the market has significantly over valued a team and you can just get massive value in the spread on the road OR if you have a very senior laden team playing in locations that they are very familiar. For example, if a Big 10 Team has 3 senior starters who have been at the same school all 4 years and they’ve played in that road environment 3 times previous years and had previous success.
Overall though, I rarely take road teams. However, if you noticed I only took 2 games today, whereas last Saturday I took 8 games. Why? One BIG reason is because when you hit this time in December, you get a lot of student fan bases who are not going to these games, because they go home for the Holidays. So it’s vitally important to understand that home court could matter LESS in this stretch of games with 70% of students gone. Now that’s not the case for all schools. For example, today I took two teams at home (Michigan State and Memphis), both of which tend to sell out their arenas regardless of time of the year. One good thing to do, is to check attendance at home games for that team in previous years during mid to late December. Michigan State and Memphis both tend to have GREAT homecourt advantages regardless of time of year. So both of those were play ons for me. But, some schools have attendance that significantly declines during this time (for example; Florida State yesterday).
Overall, it’s just another important factor to look at. You always want to be looking for an edge, and for things to help you be better and sports betting, as opposed to betting games blindly with less information. Good luck to everyone this Holiday season, and check back soon for my other NFL Picks (we are already 1-0 this weekend!!)
