Be sure to check out @rdalert447 thread on MVC tournament unders.

Thread 'MVC Unders'

Feb 28, 2023

Don’t know if anyone else plays these, but I’ve been playing it successfully for years. Just betting under every MVC Tournament game has shown a profit every year, except one, in at least the last 15 years, off the top of my head.
There’s been some 9-0’s and 8-1’s along the way. There’s been double OT games that stay under. It’s a total brick fest every year, but the books seem scared to post the totals low enough. There were years where teams weren’t cracking 100, yet totals wouldn’t get hung less than 115-120.
One catch, you have to bet these the second they come out. Every...

Had time to kill today watching CBB so I went back a couple of years to see which conference tourny's in addition to MVC do well if you're betting Unders or Overs.

Here's some data.

• The % shown under each year is the % of games that went UNDER.
• The first 7 conferences listed have consistently had games go UNDER in the last 3 years.
• The next 2 have consistently had games that go OVER.
• ROI is estimated based on -110 odds.
• I only show ROI data for the first 9 conferences because the rest were either negative or inconsistent over the 3 year period.
• The STD column is the standard deviation for the 3 year period. Lower is better (i.e. more consistent) especially if the % UNDERS are farther away from 50%.

Note: this is limited data. Just 3 years so drawing conclusions is a stretch.
But, there may be more conference to try and leverage an UNDER/OVER system.

Ask questions if you have any.

Always an excellent tournament

Great work in here, Tanko. Thanks for sharing.

Someone tell me the Sunbelt tournament isn't the craziest thing you've seen....
The 1st and 2nd place team in the conf get 5 byes and it does down from there.

If your in the bottom 4 and keep winning, you have to play 7 straight days to win the tourny.

It's a 1 in a million shot for those bottom dwellers. If they made it through 3-4 days of wins, I'd press the hell out of them. They would have to be tired as hell playing day after day.

This is the time you hit your $89k $100 10-team parlay if I recall.

I remember you having my Texas State Bobcats three times in their tourney run from a very low seed to the finals before they finally ran out of steam.

Yes sir currently there is no site that offers this open team parlay with that many teams so I can’t even try it again.
