Is college basketball beatable?

If you talk to bettors often enough, you will start to hear some funny theories. Bettors in general are peculiar people, and they tend to have strange ideas. I have even heard one bettor exclaim that college basketball is just not beatable. He believes that the game is too unpredictable, and thus you would be better off flipping a coin. I don’t believe this is the case, and I think you can win with your college basketball picks.

What you eventually have to realize is that college basketball might seem like a crazy game because of upsets, but it really isn’t that bad. Most games will go the way they should. Your goal as a handicapper should be to find those times when an upset is likely to occur. Teams usually get upset on the road in college basketball and it usually happens when they’re tired. You can often see these “trap” games coming if you pay attention to teams closely enough. This gets back to an important point about not spreading yourself too thin. If you want to make winning college basketball picks, then you must limit yourself to a few teams or conferences.
