I was curious, so I looked something up this morning. Before this season, there was a lot of talk from media pundits about how the new foul rules would affect the college basketball game, and a lot of people hypothesized that with all the fouls, games would be going over the total a lot this season. It is interesting to note that in the last eight college basketball seasons, this season has produced the most games percentage wise that have gone under the total to date. Of the 2625 games that didn't push with a posted total, 53.75% of these games have gone under the total. For a bettor paying standard -110 juice, this would put them up 75.6 units on the year. Of course, one would never advise betting on all 2625 games, but interesting to note anyway.
Keep up the great run!
Cheers
This doesn't surprise me at all. I have watched more college ball this year than every before, and the refs are letting them play more than ever across all conferences. It's almost like the refs have gone opposite of the intended outcome of the new rules that were supposed to help clean up the game. The majority of games I have seen lately have been brawl fests where the refs swallow their whistles repeatedly. I really hope they can clean it up for the tourney. :shrug:
