Deceptive Speed will break down every single conference tournament from a gambling perspective the day each tourney starts. You’ve lost quite a bit of money this month in the past whether it’s food, drinks, gambling or bracket pools. The goal for 2020 is to make you some money in March for the first time in your entire life.
We’ve reached the first Saturday of conference tournament season, and four more tourneys get started today. Let’s give the Sun Belt Conference tournament a look.
The Bracket
The Bracketology
Deceptive Speed Bracketology is giving Arkansas Little Rock the automatic bid for a 15 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The Odds
Texas State +225
Arkansas-Little Rock +280
Georgia State +325
South Alabama +375
Georgia Southern +1200
Texas Arlington +1800
Appalachian State +2800
Coastal Carolina +8000
Arkansas State/Louisiana +20000
The Suck
For as even as the top of the conference is, there’s some incredible suck down at the bottom. If you decide to invest your money on Arkansas State or Louisiana Lafayette with a $10 bet, you could be coming home with a $2,000 check.
The Bet
This is legitimately a four-team race for the Sun Belt Conference tournament title, but we’ll be investing in Arkansas-Little Rock. Trojans have the look of a team that could make a run in March with an eight-game winning streak and the best road record in the entire conference. This team is on a roll right now and they know how to win away from home.
