Free Bet College Basketball – Sunday, March 19th

ASA has a FREE BET for you today in the NIT game between Wisconsin and Liberty

ASA FREE PLAY UNDER 129 Liberty @ Wisconsin – 12PM ET (NIT Tournament)

Let’s start your morning off with a free bet on the Total of the Liberty Flames and Wisconsin Badgers. The first numbers that stand out are the pace of play or possessions per game for both teams. Liberty ranks 308th in adjusted tempo at 64.8 with an average possession length of 19.1 seconds. The Badgers prefer that same style of play with the 345th ranked adjusted tempo and 349th average possession length at 19.7 seconds. Wisconsin doesn’t shoot it well either with an effective field goal percentage of 48.6 (275th). Both teams take pride on the defensive end of the court with the Flames allowing .972-points per possession which ranks them 46th in the nation. Wisconsin under Greg Gard has always been known for their defense and this season is no different as they give up just .946-points per possession which ranks 24th. Liberty just faced a Villanova team that has very similar statistics to Wisconsin and that game finished with 119 total points. The Badgers had a higher scoring game in the opener against Bradley but they shot uncharacteristically well in that game with Steven Crowl going 12 of 16 from the field, 7 of 7 from the FT line. In a slow tempo game we like less than 129 total points as a today’s free bet in college basketball.

ASA’s Service Options

We are commonly referred to across the internet as ASA, ASAwins, ASA Inc or American Sports Analysts. Below is a little history on our company.

Mike and Lee ASA

The owners of American Sports Analysts (ASAwins), Lee Kostroski & Mike Merlet, have a been handicapping professionally since 1986.  Both started with Doc’s Enterprises, Lee in the late 80’s and Mike in the early 90’s.  After learning the handicapping trade from one of the oldest in the business, they started ASA Inc in 1997 and have been going strong ever since.  They have been known throughout the industry for their success on BIG GAMES including their 10* Midwest Game of the Year.  They have posted a winning record on Top Games in 17 of their 24 football seasons giving them the much-earned reputation as the top BIG GAME HANDICAPPERS in the country.  ASA is located in Madison, WI and a foundation of their handicapping prowess revolves around the heart of the country – especially the Big Ten.

ASAwins has appeared on numerous radio shows throughout the country as special expert football guests including Tampa, New Orleans, Madison, Milwaukee, Memphis, Las Vegas, and Denver just to name a few.  They were also featured on the ESPN website with gaming writer Chad Millman during the 2011 season.

ASAwins handicapping methods have evolved through years of with hard work and research being the anchor of their success. Rather than implementing one specific strategy as many handicappers do, they intertwine many different philosophies when it comes to making football, basketball, hockey, and baseball selections.  They utilize their massive database that goes back over 30 years and can give them in depth information on any situation you can think of when it comes to handicapping.  That’s not where they stop, however.  They also research stats and film each week to evaluate the upcoming match ups on the field along with speaking with their personal contacts throughout the country (especially in the Midwest).  On top of that, they analyze each pointspread (and their movements) comparing them with their own power ratings to find where an edge might be found. Lastly, their predictive analytics or math models predict the outcomes of games based solely on numbers and statistics that aren’t swayed by the human element. 

So, as you can see, just because a game may fall into a successful system or the scheduling looks good to go against or with a certain team, that doesn’t mean that ASA automatically uses it as a selection. It must go through their in-depth process with all things considered before they give it the ASA stamp of approval. Looking at games from all these angles gives ASA the best of all worlds when it comes to handicapping. Their handicapping theories have proven successful over the years which has them as one of the more tenured experts in the industry.

Lee & Mike at ASAwins have stood the test of time in an industry that makes it very tough to do so.  Their 50+ years of experience will give you the WINNING EDGE you need.  Sports wagering is an investment and it’s time you invest in the known commodity of ASAwins!
