Take advantage of the edge

Taking advantage of the edge is key to making money this NCAA Basketball season. What is the edge, you ask?

This is where the probability of an event occurring is more likely than the sportsbook’s odds. In other words, our data and analytics suggest a team/player has a much better chance of winning than the sportsbooks think!

Taking these bets gives you a better chance of being a successful gambler long-term. Of course, the higher the edge, the better. While you’re not guaranteed a W, taking picks with an edge gives you a greater chance of being profitable well into the future. This is super important when trying to be a successful CBB bettor.

You’ll find our best edge picks in the Quick Picks section, or in Best Bets within any individual College Basketball matchup.

Be aware of injuries

Whether we like it or not, injuries are part of College Basketball. It can be difficult for bettors to keep up to date with the status of star players across 357 Division 1 NCAA basketball teams. Sometimes teams will make a game-time decision on a player, which may dramatically affect your bet coming through.

That’s why we recommend looking at the injury status and reports of teams/players before placing your bets. This isn’t possible all the time of course, if a team has juicy odds it can be hard to resist, we understand that. Think of this as a general practice and a means of enhancing your game knowledge.

If that’s too much for you, check out Dimers’ predicted spread, moneyline and total bets — before tipoff. Each College Basketball game is simulated 10,000 times — using our predictive analytics model — based on rosters, form and previous matchups, all to give you an unrivaled edge before you make that winning play.

Bet Early

This is when to strike.

Sportsbooks don’t always have the best read on teams in the first weeks of the season. This is your golden chance to win early and often. As the season progresses, books get a greater handle and it is harder to find CBB diamonds in the rough.

How to identify value early in the season:

How many starters are returning?
Where are the team's weaknesses?
Who are their recruits/what position do they play?
```
 
```

These questions will help you develop a greater understanding and opportunity to exploit the sportsbooks and gain easy profits.

Alternatively, you could just head to our College Basketball Bet Hub and we’ll help you find the best odds and show you the best bets for every CBB game.
