betting college basketball i only like the totals and i only like the under. college basketball is different than pro basketball - the players are kids 19 and 20 years old - they're not pros. a lot of them are greatly affected by the home/away thing. its not at all unusual to see a college team 5-2 at home and 2-5 away. to the best of my knowledge sportsbooks calculate the total by averaging the last few games. by making your calculation using the home teams home totals and the away teams away totals you sometimes get a very different figure. idaho state is playing oregon tonight, 12-8 at 6pm. i'm posting this at 3:40 p.m. the bettable total is 135.5. the total i got using the above method is 123 making the under a good bet. you can find a bet like this 3 or 4 times a week during the middle to end of the college basketball season.
