Promo Power for the NCAA’s Meaningful Games

Let the drama that is March Madness start to unfold.  Programs all across the nation are finding out that all loses and victories are not created equal.  Even in the realm of sports wagering, there are several strata to select from until the tourneys tip off.  ATB will be with you all the way to the final game.  So let us gain perspective at where we are at and ascertain some of the pitfalls that could ensnare our bankrolls this March.

Meaningful Games Near Ten Points

This situation most aptly describes teams that are or near the elite level against those that are merely above average.  A stellar example of this is the painful lesson we learned from the Badgers yesterday.  Even pegging the game near perfection got us tripped on that last pitfall, the back door cover.  Michigan State was a nine point dog visiting Madison against Wisconsin.  With Kaminsky going off for over 30, Badger fans were dancing in the stands as an over twenty point lead was cobbled in the second half.  Now being in the elite class, all the Badgers are looking for now are wins to get them a share or all of the Big Ten title.  With the game comfortably in hand, they let off of the accelerator.  MSU is an above average team with a pedigree.  They are going to scrap towards the end.  With less than fifteen seconds left, the game degenerated into street ball.  The Spartan lines up and hits a three.  Happy that the score is now only a seven point loss, MSU lets the clock run off without fouling anymore.  All the dominance and a goofball play incinerates the cover.  Learn from this example and tend to avoid the spreads that hover near the eight to ten mark.  Even in blowouts, it could become more coin flippish than you would wish.

Promo Power

Another way to buffer against the unexpected is to invest in an offshore establishment with a stellar reputation in terms of payouts and promotional opportunities.  America’s Bookie is just that sportsbook that caters to these requirements.  After that painful Badgers spread loss, I have a FreePlay tucked in my account just for that day if the rainclouds arrive.  Now I have a risk free opportunity to make back that loss by collecting the winnings should I pick the right game with my free play.

• Free Play Pick is Baylor + 2 1/2 at Texas

I provide this nugget out of my own personal vault pick.  I got my number and now wish to share with you.  Let us all tail this to victory tonight.  So merry Monday ATB’ers and let us reach out to new levels of profit and success this Final Four.
