For the most part, polls of any kind are a creation of the media, which are largely based on popular opinions and subject to hype about on-going events with tidbits of truths to make them believable. As such, a good number of polls give good projections about teams that are primed for breakout seasons and downfalls (see the 2016 NFL preseason polls about Oakland’s breakout and Cleveland’s struggles). The projections from the polls are, however, not always right (see the many polls that suggested Hilary Clinton would defeat Donald Trump in the 2016 US Presidential elections by a landslide. Yikes!).So, how then can we separate the truths from the falsities in polls and use them to our advantage in sportsbetting? That, indeed, is a broad question with limitless answers, but we will do our best by summarizing the most proven strategies when it comes to specifically using college basketball polls in handicapping NCAAB odds and lines.
