Sports Betting’s Best and Worst Teams off Wins and Losses

Yesterday, we were two letters off. We stated that ESPN’s Chad Millman has renamed to long-standing sports handicapping tool of Margin of Cover as the “sweat meter.” He in fact refers to it as the “sweat barometer.”  By any name, the “Margin of Cover” (+/- how much they did or did not cover by) continues to be a betting weapon.

Now that sports betting experts know the top MOC teams in NCAAB to bet on or against, how about analyzing which teams in college basketball are best and worst off straight up wins and losses?

Cal Poly has been the top “predictably unpredictable” squad as they are 1-7 against the spread off a straight up win, but 8-1 to the number off a straight up loss.

Here are the best teams off an outright win:

Team Against the spread record

Hawaii                                    8-1

George Mason            13-3

Texas                          12-3

Cleveland State         11-3

However, the following teams can’t stand prosperity. These are the best teams to bet against off a straight up win:

Team Against the spread record

Miss State                   1-8

Ohio                            1-7

Miami Ohio                1-7

Southern Illinois        1-7

Cal Poly                      1-7

Michigan State           2-9

Who are the best bounce back teams? Only two teams have been particular impressive against the sportsbook odds off a straight up setback:

Team Against the spread record

Cal Poly                      8-1

San Francisco             7-1

Conversely, losing is quite contagious for these spread disasters. Here are the worst teams to bet on—or the best teams to bet against off a straight up loss.
