The term Kill Shot was defined by EvanMiya as a streak of ten straight points. To many college basketball consumers the term was identified as a team that had a chance to comeback, fall behind fast or play a streaky game. Once I heard the term Kill Shot I immediately recognized this aspect of College Hoops as the biggest variable in Live Wagering.
KILL SHOT PARAMETERS
The definition of Kill Shot is encompassed by a ratio of 10-0 streaks created versus 10-0 streaks allowed. Teams that average more than one Kill Shot per game are often the best live betting wagers on the board. Teams that concede a Kill Shot run by an opponent are considered suspect teams to wager against. Live wagering is an art form, as the team that has a record of creating Kill Shots must have a live wagering line with a better offering than the closing line.
Once the parameters are set, the schedule predetermines games for live wagering. This column will look at the most advantageous Live Betting games from the First Round of the NCAA Tournament.
