Posted Nov 6, 2023
Hello everyone and WELCOME to the 2023 College Hoops season!! This year marks my 20th season of handicapping College Hoops on Nelly’s Sportsline and I’m so grateful and blessed to be able to be here for another year. Last year was my best season yet as I finished 105-82 for +34 units, which followed my 101-85/+11 season in 2021! In fact, my run in CBB is now up to 481-410/+79 since 2/28/19, which includes successfully navigating shortened seasons and odd schedules during the pandemic! I can’t wait to tip off another big season…..let’s get after it and have some fun this year!
This year’s season tips on Monday, November 6th and we will not look back! From that day until Championship Monday in April, the Big E will have at least one 10* play for college hoops EVERY DAY a game is played! Every single day, the B.E.S.T. will release a 10* Biggie play on the hottest play of the day, and, like my football packages, every month I’ll have a 15* Game of the Month! I will also have 20* Conference Games of the Year scattered throughout the season along with my 25* Games of the Year designated for my very BEST regular season and Tournament plays of the season!
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve moved to a more industry standard +/- EV unit-based scoring system as opposed to defaulting to a -110 juice for every play. The reality of the sports wagering world today is both lines and juice vary from state to state and book to book, so using a flat 10% is more inaccurate than not estimating juice at all. All of that said, rest assured, my “star method” won’t change. I’ll still (always) have my traditional 10, 15, 20, and 25* Biggies. The change will be adding a real layer of value in association. For example, a 10* play is a 1-unit bet for a player, a 15* play is a 2-unit bet, a 20* is a 3-unit bet, and a 25* GOY is a 5-unit play. This allows players to define their own units….it could be $10, $100, or $1,000, depending on their bankroll, with the juice implied. A win on a 10* play is +1, a loss would be -1, etc. This allows us all to speak a common language with a common measurement of success. As always, questions and feedback always welcome!
Highlights from the last few years include:
- 25* Reg Season plays are on a 4-1 run since 2018
- 20* Conf GOYs are 64-54 the last 5 years
- 20* AAC GOYs are on a 7-2 run
- 20* ACC GOYs are on a 4-2 run and are 10-7 ALL-TIME
- 20* Big Sky GOYs are on a 9-4 run
- 20* CUSA GOYs are on a 4-1 run
- 20* Horizon GOYs are on a 4-1 run and are 12-4 ALL-TIME
- 20* Ivy GOYs are on a 9-4 run
- 20* MAAC GOYs are on a 7-0 run and are 11-5 ALL TIME
- 20* MVC GOYs are on a 5-1 run
- 20* SEC GOYs are on a 6-1 run and are 11-4 ALL TIME
- 20* Summit GOYs are 7-4 ALL-TIME
- 20* Sun Belt GOYs are on a 5-1 run and are 10-4 ALL-TIME
- 15* GOMs are 8-2 the last 2 years
Let’s take you through a typical week with the Big E. In the TV-dominated world of “all sports, all the time”, 10* Biggies can and will happen any day! Every week, the Big E will have 10* Biggie plays every day there’s a game! These plays are available individually for $9.94 and again, these are GUARANTEED plays, so you only pay if I give you a winner. Clients should ALWAYS be on the lookout for Big E’s promotional Biggies….every month, there is a 15* Game of the Month for $15.94. Games that really stand out can bring a 20* Conference GOY for $20.94. Finally, the top Regular Season and the top NCAA Tourney games of the year will spawn 25* GOY PLAYS for $49.94!
Did someone say packages? The Big E’s got ’em….big ones, too! Catering to the weekly or situational player, the B.E.S.T. will have weekly, monthly, and various promotional packages throughout the year! Just check out www.nellysports.com regularly to see what the Big E is cooking up at any given time. And, if you are someone like me who shops at CostCo and buys things in bulk for cheap, you are amongst friends! Please direct your attention to the Big E’s seasonal packages below and get ALL your picks early for ONE low price!!

Hoops plays during the Bowls and B-ball period have been consistently good over the long term, going 300-267 since 2008! Last year, this package included a combined 99 CBB and Football plays, which comes out to an unbelievable $3.03/play for one of the best crossover packages in the biz!
COMPLETE MARCH MADNESS PACKAGE: $199.94
I think Championship Week is my favorite week of the season…..for me, it trumps even the first week of the Tourney, so I have to include it in any Post Season Package! In fact, March is just so mad, I include the ENTIRE month in this package! In 2019, I went 10-6 from March 1 through Championship Week and 23-16 in tournament action for an overall 33-22 record within this package! At just $199.94, that’s just $3.64/play to get ALL the Madness!
Good luck to all and enjoy the season…..may we all be dancing in March!!
Big E.
