Some elite handicappers have a long-term track record of profitability with their NCAAB picks. They have detailed knowledge of NCAA basketball and use sophisticated analytics to produce insightful picks for their clients.
Sportsbooks decide which NCAAB team is the favorite to win a game. They give the favourite a points handicap, creating a point spread. You normally find odds of -110 on either team covering that spread, which is about the same as the current odds.
Villanova is a 4.5-point favorite against Michigan. A $110 bet on Villanova to cover the spread would net you a $100 profit if they were successful.
A parlay is a combination of two or more predictions on different college basketball games. North Carolina +2.5 vs. UCLA, Arizona -1. 5 vs Houston, Gonzaga -8.. vs Arkansas, Kansas -7.
