The bottom left of your bracket has Syracuse as the number one seed. And they deserved their spot. The Orange had an amazing regular season. They are currently 28-4 SU for the season and as if that was not enough, has had an 11-2 mark on the road, including the latest games in the Big East Tourney. In terms of wagering, Syracuse is one of the best teams this season when it comes to covering the spread.

Before the first round of the NCAA Tournament begins, the Syracuse Orange is 19-9 ATS. So they have covered their spread in 67.9% of their games. That’s 25% better then Kansas and almost 12% improvement over Kentucky’s ATS performance.

But Syracuse is not as strong as one would like before the First Round. They have lost their two previous games against Louisville and Georgetown by at least 7 points. Sure they had already won the Big East Conference title outright, but things didn’t go well in the conference tourney. Add the recent injury of power-forward Arinze Onaku’s quadriceps and suddenly the team seams to be hurting in both defense and offense.

Two years ago, the Vermont Catamounts stun them and send the Orange back home before in the first round in 2005. The team is not going to miss Onaku too much in their first game against the Catamounts, they are a -17.5 point favorite here. But they must be wishing for a quick healing in Onaku’s quads, because they probably won’t make it pass the Elite Eight or the Final Four if the 6-foot-9 forward is not battling over the paint. They are sure going to need him if they make it down the NCAA Tournament Bracket and into the Elite Eight and meet Kansas State, which is a formidable team in the interior.

Watch out for UTEP and Butler. These two powerful teams are sure enough going to make up for one exciting game. The Bulldogs go into the opening round with a 20 game win streak. UTEP on the other hand has two very big players in the front, at 6-9 and 6-11 respectively, both Derrick Caracter and Arnet Moultrie are the kind of players that could get Butler’s star player, Matt Howard, into trouble. As of press time, Butler is a -2½ point favorite. But chances are that UTEP could very well take this game and make it into the second round, probably against (-3 point favorite over Murray State) Vanderbilt, a strong team that really needs to improve its performance on defense.

While you are at it, keep an eye out for BYU’s Jimmer Fredette. He has averaged 37.5 points per game in his last to appearances with the team. He has a 44.8% in the 3-point range and is quite a safe choice on free throws. Look around for Props and Matchups for this and other players in the NCAA Tournament at BetIAS.com

If we look at the odds, and take some chances, it is quite possible that both Syracuse and Kansas State are going to meet again in the Elite Eight Round. And if this happens, then the orange are really going to need Onaku at his best. And it’s not quite certain the nature of the injury or if he is going to be back in the field anytime soon. The Wildcats, on the other hand, have been extremely good picking up balls from the boards. They’ve grabbed 40.6% of available rebounds this season.

If you are taking part of the action in March Madness, this information might be of your interest. There is a big difference between the die-hard College Basketball fan, and the sports bettor.  The first plays by hearth, the second by rhyme and reason.

I am aware that other Sports News sites offer very complete blogs with statistics and constant first-hand updates. I visit them too. Those sites are great, but mean very little to the bettor. On the other hand, this site is written for players by players, and from true insiders of the offshore wagering industry. I’m part of a group of young writers offering you important betting-related-statistics that might just put you over the edge.

Other handicapping sites offer you winning peaks in exchange for money. Not here. I will not pretend to know enough to tell you if the Duke Blue Devils or any other team is going to cover its spread or not in the next game. If you look around in the blog you will not see any of that. I like the thrill, the research, the speculating involved in making every pick.

This is what our team does. It keeps track of every opening and closing line offered at BetIAS; it follows up with final-scores and keeps track of various key-teams’ performances in terms of wagering: this is, how many times has a team covered its spread in the regular  season; how many of its games have gone over or under; what is their wining percentage when playing Against The Spread (ATS), etc.  We have prepared this table with both sports-based and bettor-related information of the Top 6 Ranked teams according to the Associated Press poll.

The Saints came back from a 10-0 deficit to win the XLIV Super Bowl last Sunday February 7th. Drew Brees and the bayou boys gave us one heck of a game against the 5-point favorite, the Indianapolis Colts, to win their first National Championship. The Vince Lombardi Trophy was still on its way to New Orleans when the online wagering team at Instant Actions Sports was coming up with new ideas to improve your online and over the phone wagering experience.

The Super Bowl is well behind us, and we are already working on preparing the best NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament wagering-related information you can find on the web.

This attention to detail might just put us – and more importantly, you – over the edge.
