Critical numbers in college basketball

When you make college football bets, it is easy to know the critical numbers in play. For instance, three, four, six, seven, eight, and ten are the big ones. These numbers make a difference and you better know how to bet around them if you want to make money. In college basketball, it is a little bit harder. Know that three is a critical number in college hoops. Likewise, every single number leading up to 10 is a critical number, given the way games play out in the end.

Know also that 12 is a very hard number to cover for favorites. Why is this the case? It’s because teams stop fouling when they are down by double digits. Also important is that winning teams sometimes let up when they get up by 15 points. This means a team can come back and get it close, even when your favorite has run out to a lead. If you remember this, you will stand a much better chance of doing well with your college basketball betting in the 2012 season.
