NCAA College Basketball Sports Bets Picks of the Day

So, my day yesterday wasn't great. I finished 2-2-1, with one of my wins being a money line pick, giving a slightly better payout (+110 vs. -110). For the year, this puts me at 6-7-1 on the season, slightly under .500, but very close to being positive with cash for the season.

Yesterday turned out worse than it should have because I forgot to take into account a very important factor in college basketball, which is also one of my sports betting rules, home court advantage in college basketball is a huge factor in sports betting. Sure, road teams win all the time, but I think the percentage is much lower with road teams that actually cover. In my case, I took several road teams that were over 5 point favorites, putting my chances of victory much lower. Take into account the additional factor of senior day, and home court is tough this week.

With that being said, on to my NCAA college basketball sports bets of the day:

Virginia Tech vs. FLORIDA STATE (-6) - my pick is Fl. St. for one unit. They are pretty hot team right now, playing on senior day to improve their NCAA tournament status.

Arkansas vs. VANDERBILT (-8) - my pick is Vandy for one unit. No one here is going to the tournament. Vandy is playing senior day, is the better team, and has a pretty good home court advantage at their place.

Duke vs. UNC (-8) - my pick is UNC for one unit. This is a huge rivalry game, but UNC is loaded with seniors on senior day and is by far the better team. I almost put two units on this game. This is traditionally a good game, but UNC won't be afraid to run it up on Duke.

Santa Clara vs. GONZAGA (-13.5) - my pick is Gonzaga for one unit. The Zags are a good team and are willing to blow out any WAC team they come up against. It is also their senior night with a bunch of good seniors. They should be pretty fired up to play this game.

I also parlayed UNC, Gonzaga, and Fl. St. for one unit. Parlays are terrible for your bankroll, but I think they are super fun. So long as you aren't expecting to win on them much, it's okay to have a guilty pleasure.
