A sportsbook can be a lucrative business opportunity if run properly. Being able to predict something like the fact that the Georgia Tech men's basketball team would be able to reach the Final Four in 1990 under then head basketball coach Bobby Cremins could have been a very lucrative sportbooks prediction for you to make correctly. The men's NCAA basketball tournament is a very fruitful endeavor for everyone involved. This is the case whether you are talking about a sportsbook or the television networks.

Getting back to that Georgia Tech 1990 squad, they were a dynamic squad. Picking them to make it to the Final Four would have been a smart move for anyone who was using a sportsbook to make some extra money at that time. With the likes of Kenny Anderson penetrating the lane, slicing up defenses and playing some solid defense that sort of solid play is always a positive at the point guard position. Then someone using a sportsbook to select Georgia Tech to go far in the NCAA Tournament could have noted the prolific three point shooting of Dennis Scott. Scott and Kenny Anderson both spent a double digit amount of seasons in the National Basketball Association. Dennis became so dead on with his three point shooting that he earned the nickname D-3 during his time with the Orlando Magic.

Cremins had also been far in the NCAA Tournament, having reached the Elite Eight with his 1985 team. A very detailed sportsbook with plenty of facts and statistics may be able to tell you that before you place your wagers. In fact a sportsbook that is keen upon its sports history may be able to tell you that Dennis Scott was in fact the overall leading scorer for that entire tournament, not just for the Yellow Jackets, but the entire NCAA Tournament.
