Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who takes the time to post info, opinions, discussion, trends etc...It goes a long way. With so many schools out there it's impossible to catch all the details.
It's been a ridiculously good season for me so far. Last year I had a strong 1H to the MLB season, and it went down the tubes in the 2H, broke even on the year. In the NFL 2 seasons ago I did very well, creamed the playoffs where I went something like 23-6. The following season(this year) I completely bombed and lost around 23 units in 7 weeks and stopped.
In sports wagering the roller coaster goes up, then it comes down. It's inevitable. But it will go up again. Only money management and stepping away(during bad streaks) is the only way to dull the blade that stabs your soul.
Be patient, be REALISTIC, try to stay positive every step of the way. Try not to get too low on losses, and too high on wins.
Lastly, when it comes to the fixed talk. I have never taken a solid stance on the topic. There's been games that make you say hmmm...There's been games(mainly pro sports) where there has been documented foul play.
IMHO, when it comes to college ball, I think this is the purest sport we have left. As pure as a newborn right out of the womb. Do yourself a favor, take a few days off from wagering. Watch any random game without "your" hard earned money on the line. Watch another, keep watching until you see the "pure" ebb n flow of this game. The patterns repeat, the same high pressure situations present themselves often. Kids miss shots, kids miss free throws, kids make dumb fouls, referees aren't perfect, coaches aren't all created equal.
On the other side of the spectrum, kids get hot, some games they can't miss, kids are sharp and determined when desperate, refs call a fair game(they too have really good games) Coaches adjust at halftime, some of these guys are truly brilliant. Bill Self vs WVU recently was tremendous in the last 3 minutes of the game.
The less that you distract yourself with too many outlandish theories, blind opinions, and insignificant info, the better your results will be on your wagers. Just my opinion.
Good luck going forward everyone
