Yesterday: 3-13 -$8,690
Tourney: 9-25 -$12,715
Holy f'n chalk! Well, I've just written 2 books the last 48 hours: How to lose 10k (OK, more than 10k) in 2 days AND #1 Fade...Good news (bad news?), there are 8 games today, and 8 games tomorrow (and more next week, YIPPEE!). It turns out this is going to be one of the most boring tourneys for dogs...or is it? My thesis on fading the big10/sec has completely blown up/back fired as they are a combined 16-5 straight up (13-8 against the spread, and I think I bet most/all of the 8 losses). I may have to tinker with the thesis a bit in the interim, since well, there are so many damn teams from those conferences left and I'll be forced (yep, forced) to bet some of them. Here's to me hoping (and my bank account certainly is, too) that there is a bit more turbulence today and tomorrow. Side note: despite the awfulness I'm still in the lone Survivor I enter every year that has a payday far outweighing my red number here...
St. Johns -7.5 2750/2500
Fun fact: my final4 is still intact and the Johnnies are part of it (Can you guess the other 3?)...we know Cal can't coach...and Pitino will want to crush him...I say he and the Red Storm do.
Drake +7.5 1650/1500
Drake ML 100/240
This ain't no Cinderella. T Tech is great, but lucky for Drake, they just played a team very similar in style and make-up.
Creighton +8.5 1100/1000
The worry is Creighton used up all their 3s against the Ville---obviously not enough worry to stay off plus Auburn peaked (IMO) a month ago.
Gonzaga +5.5 3300/3000
Gonzaga 1st half +2.5 2200/2000
OK, now we're talkin...Zags played possum this year and were f'd b/c of it with an 8 seed...Houston is great, but it's the same song/dance with them every year (super tough, but the O disappears for long stretches)...Zags have what it takes to not only keep this close, but bounce the Cougs. Side note: I do love Milos Uzan for H-town...might have to play some props on him.
TOTALS
Purdue/McNeese UNDER 142.5 550/500
Mich/A&M OVER 141.5 330/300
UCLA/Tenn UNDER 130.5 550/500
GL All!
