What Types of NCAAB Picks Can I Find on StatSalt?

When it comes to NCAAB matchups, StatSalt focuses on two principal betting markets. These are side picks, and totals. When we pick sides, we are predicting who will cover the spread. For example, if we are backing Kansas to cover at -4.5 against Iowa State, we believe that the Jayhawks will beat their Big 12 rivals by more than 4.5 points by full time. If we back the Cyclones at +4.5, we are saying they will finish closer than 4.5 points behind Iowa State by the end or win the game. Total bets, on the other hand, hang on the scoring ability of both teams combined. Before the game sportsbooks will set a price on how many points will be scored, and bettors must decide whether the real total will be more or less than that number. Again, to take the example of Kansas vs. Iowa State, if the over/under is set at 162.5, an over bet will cash in if there are more than 162.5 points scored by the two teams, and an under bet if 162 or fewer are scored.
