The self proclaimed WORST college basketball handicapper on COVERS
Coming into the Tournament on a unexpected run winning 3 out of the last 4 days after staying away from college hoops for almost the entire season ...
Over the last 28 years of betting the tournament I've traditionally done well in the first round and lost my arse in the 2nd round ..My best money making tournament was when longer shot Texas Tech made it to the finals ..
I usually load up on some futures but extremely hesitant this year due to Covid...
Posting my Point spread Ratings and Prediction for every play in and first round game in this thread ...

1 Unit is reduced from $200 in football to $40 for basketball...Over the last couple decades I've found basketball much more difficult than college or Pro football....I have some 5 unit plays in the first roundn, but none of play in games look that appealing. .Betting 3 of them for the action .
All bets are placed using lines from the Niagara Falls Seneca sportsbook
Point Spread Ratings
M.ST. MARY'S. -0.44. TEXAS SOUTHERN.
Pass for me , Dont see value in either side although if either side gets to +120 on the ML I'll jump on for 1 unit ( $40)
DRAKE 2.77. WICHITA ST.
Betting this one just for the Action ..DRAKE -1 -106. 1 UNIT ..
NORFOLK ST. 0.35 APPALACHIAN ST
Havent watched a second of either but I'll take + 3 points for 1 unit at -106
UCLA 1.12 MICHIGAN ST
Is the wrong squad the chalk ?? Pac12 isnt getting much respect from the oddsmakers...Sparty is living off the past ...UCLA ML +112 1.5 Units

Cant bet on it at the sportsbook ( NO NY college teams ) ..Might take a stab with the local on the Bonniies ...TBD
COLORADO. 3.44. GEORGETOWN

BYU. TBA
TEXAS. 6.91. ABILENE CHRISTIAN
Taking this at +9 with the local but I never count his line on COVERS....ABILENE CHRISTIAN +8.5. -109. 5 UNITS

Double - you have Abilene Christian upsetting Texas as a 9 point dog? I don't see it. Yes, I am a Texas homer...That's a different Texas Team the last 1/3 of the season. Not only are they talented, they are hungry for a change...Texas wins this game by DDs...

"Everytime I see WINTHROP I think of Trading places ..Was hoping they wouldn't be this years sexy pick , but they are"
I have never more agreed with anything ever posted anywhere. I've been thinking Trading Places too...was it Winthrop or Winthorp??? doesn't really matter. They are definitely the trendy upset pick...

Best of luck to you and your horns ...

Didnt plan on betting any Futures to win the championship bc the Mrs is already loaded up on Michigan with mich better odds from December 9th - Late February ...
The Seneca Sportsbook is NOT offering one of my favorite bets ( To reach SWEET 16) . The odds are really bad at most books anyways ..
Great Brother THORPE got it clarified today that any team that forfeits will have their Bets refunded at Seneca .
To MAKE FINAL 4 ( These bets have bad juice but are better than some books )
WEST Region
IOWA +400. $125/500 Go ahead and bet Gonzaga at -230 like all the Chalk Lovers , NO THANKS !! I'm HIGH on the BIG12
USC +1000. $55/550 Sure its probably a donation , but this time should be full of piss and vinegar after running out of gas in the PAC semis after winning a game in double OT
CREIGHTON. +1150. $60/690. Hoping for some good ML odds starting in the 2nd round. .
EAST
ALABAMA. +400. $175/700
As mentioned the MRS. is heavy on Michigan and this is more of a hedge .. It took a UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO BULL to coach the TIDE to get me rooting for Any Alabama team for the first time in my life ( SICK of Alabama Football )
BYU +2500. 40/1000
Told Thorpe that BYU has almost zero chance of winning the Region..In the past I've had to eat my words numerous times over the years ...
GEORGETOWN +4000. 25/1000
Sure the Ewing's could lose their first game , and these odds suck , but why not????
SOUTH
OHIO ST +400. $175/700
No way would I bet Baylpr at -134....
ARKANSAS +800. $55/450
Wanted +1200 , but I really like their chances at making the sweet 16
PURDUE +1150. $50/575
As you can tell I'm heavy on BIG10 ...
MID WEST
ILLINOIS +150. $100/150
My numbers love the ILLINI but these odds are Brutal.
WEST VIRGINIA +700. $100/700
The choke vs Oklahoma St should have the Neers focused ..

ALABAMA +2000
