Betting against name brands
One thing that we like to talk about is value. You always want to look for the best possible value when making your bets. One excellent way to do this is to bet against the name brand teams. Names get all they hype, and making winning NCAA basketball picks has nothing to do with hype. Instead, it has almost everything to do with actual value. You will want to make NCAA basketball picks on teams that have long-term value. If the name on the front of the jersey is powering the temporary value of a team, then you should consider betting against them.
One needs to look only to UNC last season for a great example. Though they continued to lose to almost everyone, the lines were slanted toward UNC all year. It was as if the betting public expected them to morph into a new team all of a sudden. As you know, this never happened. Big money was made fading UNC last year. Your goal, of course, is to find the new UNC. Find that team with name brand value and make your NCAA basketball picks accordingly. You will thank yourself.
