College basketball research checklist for this slate
College basketball has more than 350 teams and thinner information on most of them, so research depends on tempo, schedule strength and availability reports that can be harder to verify.
- Confirm the starting five and any minute limits, because college rotations change quickly.
- Check tempo and the venue: home court is a bigger input in college basketball than in the pros.
- Convert the price you are offered to a break-even probability and compare it with your own estimate.
- Shop the same number across the books you can legally use, and note the vig.
- Write down your reason before you place anything, and decide your unit size in advance.
Break-even probability by American price
A price only has value against your own estimate. These are the win rates a bet must reach just to break even at common American prices, before any adjustment for the sportsbook’s margin.
| American price | Break-even win rate |
|---|---|
| -200 | 66.67% |
| -150 | 60.00% |
| -120 | 54.55% |
| -110 | 52.38% |
| -105 | 51.22% |
| +100 | 50.00% |
| +110 | 47.62% |
| +150 | 40.00% |
| +200 | 33.33% |
