I think it applies to all college vs pro sports


"The good thing about the NBA is that you’re dealing with professionals. I just prefer betting on the pros compared to a bunch of 18-year-olds where you don’t know what you’re going to get. Maybe their girlfriend just broke up with them, they got in a fight in the cafeteria or just finished getting hazed in a fraternity.

Generally when you deal with professionals, regardless of what these guys do with their personal lives, when they step between the lines they’re out there giving that same effort on a nightly basis. "

Valid point. On the other hand if you know the college kid just broke up with his girlfriend before anyone else, You can capitalize on that fact.

and the professional could have just finished having a fight with his wife over an affair... the bottom line, they're people just like the rest of us. sports are unpredictable, college and professional.

No...............Pros can commit murder before game and then score 40 points
A college kid would be scared shit and score 4 points

Yeah, the pros NEVER mail one in...or fail to show up in a big game (see LBJ last year vs Celtics)...

Manny finds out he is busted,screws the Rays,clubhouse is a mess, they get get swept twice and know one betting knows why until they are 1-7.
In life - shit happens that effects players and teams all the time.
Just part of the game we chose to play.

I disagree greatly with this...especially in betting basketball. NBA players consistently take nights off. An ncaa player/team brings it and plays hard every game
