Another 2-1 showing against the college basketball odds made it four straight winning weeks for my Wednesday Night Parlay Picks. Providence kicked it all off with a ticket cash at the online sportsbook after Ed Cooley’s Friars battled enough to secure the cover but failed to get the best of Xavier in OT. The Florida Gators earned us another unit by pulling a wire-to-wire job on the Tennessee Vols to come up with a huge win on their home court. Unfortunately, the New Mexico Lobos struggles in Log... 

Separated by just a few miles in the Triangle area, the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils formed an explosive rivalry. Since both schools have been among the best annually in basketball that sport tends to attract the biggest following, so Saturday’s matchup is getting plenty of attention despite both teams having subpar seasons. Well, subpar for them. Both teams have won over 68 percent of their games with the Dookies looking for payback after dropping the last two meetings. The Hee... 

Last Saturday’s parlay picks were both fantastic and nightmarish. First the bad; we stood no chance of covering with either Minnesota or DePaul as double-digit underdogs. A fatigued Northwestern squad took it right to the Gophers from the outset and never looked back. The Blue Demons made things interesting for a half, but got their doors blown off over the final 20. Creighton handled Xavier as expected both in the first half as well as the full game. That was a banger! Maryland continued its ho... 

On paper this game looks like a laugher. The Houston Cougars won 20 of 22 games, reached No. 1 in the national rankings and have dominated the American Athletic Conference once again bringing back memories of the Phi Slama Jama days. But the games aren’t played on paper as those teams will tell you and the Cougars look to avoid the same letdown in Thursday’s matchup with the Wichita State Shockers. In one of the most improbable upsets, Houston with its star studded lineup lost to NC State in the... 

A solid 2-1 showing against the College Basketball odds made it three straight winning weeks for my Wednesday Night Parlay Picks. Though UConn never once found itself in a position to cover the number in an 82-79 defeat at the hands of the Xavier Musketeers, we still ended up cashing in at the online sportsbook after Florida creamed South Carolina and the ov... 

Two high profile conferences take a break from league play to compete in the made for TV Big 12/SEC Challenge. A featured matchup has the Kansas Jayhawks visiting the Kentucky Wildcats in a battle of college basketball blue bloods. A few weeks ago many would have viewed this as a laugher. The Jayhawks were 16-1 and ranked No. 2 in the country while diehards in Lexington were calling for John Calipari’s head after an embarrassing home loss to South Carolina. The worm has turned with KU losing thr... 

It was another tough 2-1 showing for our Saturday Parlay Picks after Texas Tech blew a lead deep in the second half and failed to even cover the closing College Basketball odds against K-State. The Red Raiders then went on to get destroyed at home by West Virginia. The team is bad folks – real bad! TCU and Providence did however get us in the black. The Horn... 

The Connecticut Huskies got a needed win on Sunday ending a three-game slide with a brutal thumping of Butler. The competition stiffens on Wednesday when the first-place Xavier Musketeers pay a visit. The Musketeers rebounded from their first Big East loss that ended an 11-game winning streak by defeating Georgetown, 95-82, though they failed to cover the spread for a second straight ATS setback. The teams met at the end of December with Xavier’s 83-73 cover win starting a stretch that saw the H... 

Dependent upon where you bought into the market with Marquette, you either went 6-0 or 5-0-1 versus the College Basketball odds with last Wednesday night’s parlay picks. DePaul didn’t need any points against Xavier after pulling out the shocking 73-72 win as 9-point home dogs. St. Louis took care of business on the road against struggling Loyola Chicago, whi... 

We came a second half choke job from NC State away from sweeping the board with last Saturday’s parlay picks. Though the Wolfpack ended up winning by a bucket in overtime, we unfortunately laid three. The basketball gods giveth and taketh and they gave us a luck box cover with the UCLA Bruins who pulled away from Colorado late in the second half to topple the closing 12-point college basketball odds. The lone surefire win proved to be the Iowa State Cyclones who gave the Kansas Jayhawks all kind... 

The Connecticut Huskies breezed through their non-conference schedule winning all 11 contests and opened Big East play with three more wins, including a decisive takedown of the Butler Bulldogs in the league opener, getting as high as No. 2 in the national rankings. However, the road has been bumpy since with UConn going down in four of five games when playing as the favorite in all of them. Being at home didn’t help them on Sunday in an 85-74 loss to St. John’s as a 14.5-point favorite. The Hus... 

Typically a showdown between the UCLA Bruins and Arizona Wildcats is for bragging rights in the Pac-12. Technically it still is, but it’s the Bruins doing all the bragging right now. Unbeaten seven games into the league schedule, UCLA faces the difficult swing through the Grand Canyon State concluding with Saturday’s matchup against the Wildcats. For the fourth straight meeting both teams are ranked among the top-15 in the country, though Arizona has faltered lately dropping two of three followi... 

Not a bad debut for this piece last time out after cashing four of five parlay legs and it taking a late-game choke by the Northwestern Wildcats to prevent us from sweeping the board. It wasn’t pretty, but the Georgia Bulldogs got us to the window at the online sportsbook by staying a step ahead of Mississippi State all game long. The Creighton Bluejays came up just short at Xavier but stayed within the number. Texas A&M destroyed a Mizzou team that’s night and day on the road as expected, w... 

Most programs in the country would take what the Kentucky Wildcats have done so far this season. But this is Kentucky and any rough patch draws intense criticism from fans and the media. And the Cats are experiencing a rough stretch losing two straight with the most recent setback at home to South Carolina as a 20-point favorite. That came after the Cats were blown away 78-52 at Alabama. John Calipari is a legend in Lexington, at least when he’s winning games and NCAA titles. Even with 10 wins i... 

With the online sportsbook putting most of its attention into Saturday’s wild-card matchups in the NFL, college basketball bettors just might be able to take advantage of some betting lines that slip through the cracks. After the Northwestern Wildcats prevented us from ripping off a perfect 5-0 showing in Wednesday night’s debut of this parlay picks piece, I’m ready to get after it on a loaded college hoops betting slate that offers up another 152 games to sink our teeth into. Here’s to building... 

With Wild-Card Weekend set to kick off and Super Bowl LVII soon to follow, it’s time to start paying a bit more attention to what’s going down on the college basketball hardwood so as to make sure you’re not clueless once March Madness arrives. College basketball betting has been going down since early November with conference play picking up in early December. That means the online sportsbook has been offering up daily betting odds for over two months now. The futures odds were made available i... 

Few teams have dominated a conference like the Gonzaga Bulldogs have dominated the West Coast Conference since the start of the 21st Century. Gonzaga has won the WCC Conference Tournament 18 times and a share of the regular season conference championship 21 times since 2000, so it’s no surprise the Zags haven’t missed the NCAA Tournament since 1998. The BYU Cougars were supposed to challenge Gonzaga upon joining the WCC in July 2011, but that has yet to happen, and now the Cougars are set to lea... 

An enormous 64-game slate lies before us Wednesday night, and it’s my job to make you money betting parlays the remainder of the 2022-23 college basketball betting season. With the Georgia Bulldogs just winning a second straight National Championship and the NFL playoffs kicking off this weekend, the thick of conference play has begun on the collegiate hardwood. That means just about every slate moving forward will be loaded with matchups to sink our teeth into at the online sportsbook. Here’s to getting off on the right foot with some sides to add to your Hump Day parlay card! ... 

Following a recent stretch where they lost twice in three games, the Kentucky Wildcats dropped out of the national rankings for the first time this season. As an unranked foe the Cats will be underdogs for their SEC matchup with No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday. Bama has the unique distinction of knocking off the No. 1 team in the country twice this season, beating North Carolina and Houston on the road a few weeks later. There is one common theme between the clubs; they both lost to power... 

Massive turnover in Tallahassee left the Florida State Seminoles and coach Leonard Hamilton wondering how the team would respond. Well, it wasn’t a good beginning with the Noles losing their first four games and nine of 10. There were signs that maybe they’re turning a corner with three wins in their last four games however continuing that trend is going to be difficult with a matchup against the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday. Last time out the Blue Devils were beaten handily on the road by Wake ... 

The North Carolina Tar Heels were the No. 1 team in the country until a four-game slide dropped them completely out of the national rankings. The Heels have regained their winning form with three straight wins and payouts, the latest in overtime over Ohio State after tying the game late in regulation. UNC looks to continue the run of success with a matchup against the Michigan Wolverines on Wednesday in the Jumpman Invitational in Charlotte. While it’s a neutral site contest, the Heels have a sh... 

The matchup between college basketball bluebloods likely would have been a bigger deal if not for the Indiana Hoosiers dropping two of their last three games. A visit to Phog Allen Fieldhouse for a top-25 matchup with the Kansas Jayhawks isn’t the ideal scenario to break out of their little slump but that’s what IU is facing after recent setbacks to Rutgers and Arizona. Kansas is always tough to beat and especially at the Phog where they are 5-0 this season with payouts in the last two. Following their lone setback of the season the Jayhawks have won three straight by an average of nearly 29 points covering the spread and cashing the OVER in all three. This war on the floor will go down Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 12 p.m. ET at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, KS. The game will be televised live on ESPN2. We'll have NCAA basketball odds at BookMaker.eu available for this and every game on the college basketball Saturday schedule. ... 

The final game of the NCAA tournament is upon us. The matchup will shockingly pit the East Region No. 8 seeded North Carolina Tar Heels up against the Midwest Region No. 1 seeded Kansas Jayhawks. Bill Self’s kids have been getting a majority of the betting action at online sportsbooks with total bettors expecting points to hit the board. While it’s always a blast betting the more traditional sides, totals, and moneylines, why not break the game inside the game down a bit more and get involved in... 

The North Carolina Tar Heels just sent the Duke Blue Devils home in arguably the program’s biggest win since cutting down the nets back in 2017. It will forever have one-upped the Dookies with it just so happening to be the final collegiate game Coach K will ever coach. After getting sky-high for that one and ultimately coming out on top, it comes to reason that they’ll have their hands full in Monday night’s National Championship Game against the Kansas Jayhawks with the adrenaline and exciteme... 

Final Four betting pits a quadrant of blue bloods against one another at online sportsbooks. Kansas is set to square off against Villanova in a prime regional semifinals grudge match, while a historic chapter of the UNC/Duke rivalry is set to be written. While most college hoops bettors are likely to bet way beyond their means on the point spreads, moneylines and totals with only three games remaining on the docket, there’s a bevy of props available to help spice things up throughout both games....
