About the Book

Investing in College Basketball provides a comprehensive set of tools and techniques for successfully wagering on college basketball.  It shows how the returns – winnings -- from investing in college basketball can be far greater than investing in stocks and bonds. These returns can be achieved by anyone with an interest in basketball, basic mathematical skills, and a computer with spreadsheet programs and Internet access.  The power of the methodology is demonstrated by actual investing results for the 2003-2004 season of the Atlantic 10 Conference.  The book includes an analysis of investment outcomes for the A-10 Conference, the working papers for assessing each team, and the analysis of each game for which an investment was made.  There are extensive examples of how theory is applied in analyzing actual games and showing how good analysis consistently pays off.
