Utah Valley Wolverines vs North Dakota Fighting Hawks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/14/24

If there are any constants in college basketball, it's that when you watch the Syracuse Orange you're going to be looking at a matchup zone defense and when you see the Virginia Cavaliers you will be looking at a Pack Line defense.

Those are the calling cards coaches Jim Boeheim and Tony Bennett live by, and it provides a pretty solid foundation for evaluating this ACC game that gets underway at 7 PM ET at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville. And if you are a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer, you can access reduced juice on this game to help you get better odds.

And speaking of odds, this is what they have posted on this contest:

<strong>Virginia Cavaliers -7</strong>
<strong>Syracuse Orange +7</strong>

<strong>Over 130 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 130 points -110</strong>

When you think about it, Virginia is the reigning national champion. Aren't they? Without an NCAA Tournament last season, you'd probably have to say that.

You can usually be assured that the Cavaliers are going to do a lot of fundamental things well. And this includes some solid shooting, as they are among the top 25 in the country (out of 357 teams) in marksmanship from both two and three-point range. And from the line, they are a blistering 80.4%, which is fourth best in the country.

During the Bennett era, they have also defended without fouling; only 15% of their opponents' points come from the charity stripe.

And like all of Bennett's teams, they take care of the ball. Virginia has turned the ball over on only 13.5% of its possessions, which ranks them fourth in the nation in offensive TO percentage.

Interestingly enough, the numbers attached to Virginia's defensive performance are not as glittering as they have been in much of the recent past. Well that is, if you consider allowing 34.6% shooting from three-point range to be a huge disappointment.

One thing Virginia's shooters had better be ready for is a Syracuse zone that has been stingy. The Orange have held the opposition to 28.6% from downtown.

But you know, a stop is not a stop unless you can pull down the defensive rebound. And this is an area the matchup zone is always going to have trouble with. That kind of scheme is different from the Pack Line in that it does not normally allow for defenders to directly box out the opposition on the boards. The result is that you allow a lot of second-shot opportunities. That's what Virginia should get, and that will chew some clock, because when you talk about the Cavs, you're talking about one of the most patient, deliberate teams in the nation.

So that's a difference between these two, as standouts like 7-foot Jay Huff, Marquette transfer Sam Hauser and Trey Murphy will be able to grab their share of rebounds.And those guys can all get to the circle and hit triples, whereas Syracuse doesn't have a lot of three-point artillery.

And why is that extra important? Well, because Virginia's scheme has made it real difficult for Syracuse to operate from short and mid-range when they've gone head-to-head. Last season, the Orange managed just 28% shooting from TWO-point range in two meetings. When you do that and hit a bunch of threes you might be able to get by. But Syracuse doesn't throw them down like that.

And that's why we'll lay the points.

Boise State Broncos vs Utah State Aggies Betting Pick & Prediction 2/10/24

<strong>Reverse Line Movement</strong> - If you've heard the term but don't know what it's referencing, then in a few hundred words you will. Remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. So, here we go.

These days there are any number of sites that publish the ticket count for games, which is exactly what it says, ticket count. Specifically, the number of bets on the game and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/fading-betting-public-perceptions-realities/"><strong>betting consensus</strong></a>. Often times you will see cases where there are far more tickets on one team than the other, and yet the line is moving away from the team with more bets. That means there is more MONEY on the team with less tickets.

Here's an the rotation for May 15th.

<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-406200" src="http://bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/odds-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" />

The column marked "spread" is the run line, and obviously the <a href="http://bangthebook.com/value-betting-mlb-baseball-run-line/"><strong>ML column reflects the money line</strong></a>. I don't think I need to explain "total." As you can see, the Astros are attracting 73% of the ML tickets, and yet after opening at -118 they are down to -109. The same can be said for Toronto, grabbing 87% of the tickets yet moving down to -131. Quite simply, that is RLM.

However, there's more to it. First of all there are only 1086 tickets on the Houston game, which isn't much. For comparison's sake an NFL game will have tens of thousands of tickets on it. You've also got to factor in the time of day, since often times a syndicate will move a line one way, knowing they want to come back and take the other side at a better number. That's more common than you might think.

Since there are multiple sites with bet percentages, you'll often see different numbers on the same game. You might ask how is that possible, and I'll give you the answer. Most sites have affiliations with a specific set of sportsbooks, so they'll get different numbers. Each cross-section of <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/us/"><strong>sportsbooks</strong></a> might be different. So, if you're going to use these numbers it's advisable to use the same site over and over, because over time you will see patterns, and that's what we're looking for.

I get asked fairly often how many tickets is enough to make a judgment call, and the answer is always different. Obviously in baseball there are going to be less tickets, so the baseline will differ. The time of day matters, so you've got to "take readings" at similar times.

As I spoke about earlier, it's not uncommon for a service to give out the team with the reverse line movement in their favor, and typically late in the day. Actually, it's quite common. You don't need a service to tell you that. More importantly, if you're late to the party you are just not (ever) going to get the best number. That doesn't mean we shouldn't bet the game.

If you're going to use this method on your own, you've got to do one of two things. Either develop yourself a baseline of parameters as to what is and what is not a bet, or alternatively bet them all. The reason for betting them all is that there is no way you (or anyone, for that matter) can truly tell you what is and what is not sharp money every single time. You're using a system is all.

It can work, but don't be fooled by people telling you they are truly handicapping a game when they're giving these picks out an hour before first pitch. To be brutally honest, I'll follow some of them myself, but I'll make it clear that that's what we're doing, because many recreational bettors don't even have the time to look themselves.
