Successful College Sports Betting | Picks of the Day

Day three of my college basketball sports betting odyssey turned out to be a little better than the first two days. A couple of breaks finally went my way (although one free throw would have made it a great day) and for whatever reason I finally won some games. I'd like to think it was my astute reasoning and ability to see sports lines that were off. But it was probably a little of that and a little bit of luck (no matter what anyone says, it always is).

For the year, I'm now up to 9-7-2 on the year, and 1-2 on my parlays. Isn't it crazy that out of the 18 picks I've made so far that two have been exactly on the number? That is how good these handicappers actually can be. Beating sports handicappers is really difficult. The key is making smart sports picks and not falling victim to the sucker sports bets.

On to my picks of the day. These are all conference tournament picks, based in large part on overall and conference records, and the locations of the conference tournaments (Tennessee-Chattanooga, for example, is playing in Chattanooga, giving them, in my eyes, a pretty significant advantage, particularly when an NCAA men's basketball tournament berth is on the line).

Here are my NCAA men's basketball games picks of the day:

South Alabama vs. ARKANSAS LITTLE-ROCK (-2) - my pick is Ark. L-R for one unit. I think they are just a little better and the game is in Arkansas.

St. Mary's vs. GONZAGA (-7.5) - my pick is St. Mary's to cover for one unit. This is the West Coast Conference Championship game, being played in Las Vegas. These two teams are by far the two best teams in the conference, and the rivalry as of late has blossomed. St. Mary's lost both games to Gonzaga earlier in the year, and needs to win this game to participate in March Madness. St. Mary's will leave everything on the court.

College of Charleston vs. TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA (+125) - my pick is Tenn-Chatt to win outright (they are a two point underdog). Although C of C has the better record, Tenn-Chatt is essentially playing at home for a chance to go to the NCAA tournament, a tough task for C of C to overcome.

Good luck tonight, and look back later this week for a new successful sports bettor rule for success.
