College Basketball Betting: “The Quicks” for February 26th
Where the value lies on Wednesday
Welcome back to “The Quicks” - our high-volume, micro-betting venture in college basketball betting! If you’re new, or need a refresher, here’s our angle as we hope to turn a possible edge into profitability for the rest of the CBB season.
Despite 20 games on our betting card, Tuesday was relatively uneventful from a betting perspective.
Though Davidson blowing an 11-point lead with less than five minutes left was a painful experience.
Just one game truly came down to a finish around the point spread, but Baylor-Cincinnati being the difference between turning a profit or not brought up two key elements to what we’re doing here as we prepare for March Madness.
While almost the same thing from a net profit perspective, going 11-9 is just more fun than going 1-0
Sometimes profitability really does come down to getting the best of the number when value is triggered. While our numbers suggested that maybe Baylor should be favored, being directionally correct was good enough, and the timing was key (if not a little a lucky), given how the line toggled around what ended up being the Bearcats’ winning margin:
With 53 games on the board for Wednesday night - including the regular season finales in the ASUN conference - we’ve got 24 more games on the card.
