The NCAA tournament has morphed into a national sports betting holiday.  So why is conference tournament week a superior wagering opportunity?

1. The NCAA tournament has 64 games, including the play-in, over a 3-week span.  This week there are 127 games from Tuesday through Sunday involving teams that are in the main college betting rotation used by Vegas and offshore sportsbooks.  That vast selection, combined with the unique nature of daily tournament basketball play, makes the conference tourneys a superior wagering opportunity.  As a result, along with our clients we have a very good track record in the conference tourneys.

2. Every game is a rematch, and some teams have already played twice.  While sometimes teams change drastically over the course of a season (if Georgetown gets hot and plays UConn you can all but throw early January Hoya win up in Storrs out the window), in many instances understanding what happened in the previous games is meaningful.  What happened in those games?  If a team has shown an edge previously is it due to legitimate matchup advantages, or did they hit a bunch of contested 3’s and get favorable officiating against a banged up opponent?  You need to know how the previous meetings played out.

3. After the first round, every game has at least 1 team, and it’s usually both teams, playing without rest.  That makes fatigue and energy levels critically important.  So nagging injuries, player rotation,  and depth are enormously important.  If you don’t study every box score and game story carefully this week, and understand how those box scores relate to the teams usual substitution patterns, you’re shortchanging yourself.

4. If a team has already (cliche alert) punched their ticket to “The Big Dance”,  how important is this game to them? Certain conference tournaments are enormously important to the teams involved, and bragging rights are particularly on the line in the Big East and the ACC.   But in other conferences (Pac Ten, anyone?) there’s not nearly the fervor for a conference tourney title.  Would they like to win? Sure.  But would a coach really mind not having to put his team through the wringer in order to win this week’s tourney when the one that starts next week is more important to him? After all, coaches don’t get lucrative new jobs as a result of conference tourney runs, but burst into the Sweet 16 and the big money follows.

5. Obviously to properly benefit from some fine opportunities this week there has to be some serious work involved.   We’ve been doing that work all year long and will be ingesting tons of box scores and game stories this week in an effort to get an edge.  Our documented success over the years in the conference tournaments and the NCAA’s proves that the hard work over the course of a long season pays off this time of year.   If you purchase our March Madness selection package we’ll give you the rest of the NBA regular season for free.  You end up paying just a bit more than 7 bucks a day to take advantage of our hard work, experience, and proven basketball success.  Call 1-770-649-1078 for more information or to sign up.

Hopefully something here helps you out. Good luck with the conference tourneys this week.
