Madness2

Needed a new thread as i buried myself in the other one, lost 9 of 10 and it was largely all avoidable and stupid.  I always do poorly in the madness, but it was even more excessively awful execution this year lol ultimate example of how I simply cant function in the madness:  i stated in my thread i couldnt back texas a&m against michigan.  But then, I ended up doing it anyway, and got what I deserved

i just want to win a game today, dont even care if its a split.  Just win a game.  I took both the marys.  Am i going 0-2?  

1.06 / 1 

St Marys +6 vs bama (br)

1.14 / 1 

Maryland -7.5 vs. csu (fd)

Cap......

CAP 

I like tge angle of marys pace frustrating bama, even tho marys disappointed the fuck out of me not covering 3.5 vs vandy.  If it holds true that marys simply will not be sped up against anyone, i dont like bama not being able to get yhe transition buckets theyre used to.  Of course the downside is 83-54 bama 

i respect csu a lot, but i really only like them against other mtn west teams.   And mempgis was a turnover prone team weakened by being down a key ballhandler, and they were cold from 3.  I dont really see csu’s nice run translating against high level talent team like mary, and maryland bigs seem like a rough matchup for them.  So looking for the pullaway.  75-74 csu win tho

Thanks fuse, IA gl bros

My final bullet in chamber is maybe i get lucky and win bracket pool and get bailed out lol

i went ultra lamenuts conservative with bracket with all 1 seeds in final 4 , with duke winning.  1 of 12 out of 37 that took duke, but looks like if things go relatively chalky with duke winning id win, duke prob just lose to baylor today tho lol

yea na that's 0-2.  now 1-11 in madness

I went 3-7 last year in madness then threw in towel

the year before I went 7-16 in the madness

that is 11-34 record in madness last 3 years.  I went combined 347-268 in the regular season.  One thing isnt like the other there

But what's craziest is that I got fuckin crushed in the madness the 2 priors sesasons as well.  I just dont know the exact numbers, I wasnt posting here those 2 years.  But I got annhilated in the madness in the covid season, then I know for sure that I lost 8 of 9 to end the 21-22 madness (distinctly remember kansas not covering the champ game by half point to end it lol).  so 5 straight years getting destroyed in the madness.  

It's completely different than the regular season to begin with.  And I expect it to be unpredicable madness so bet with zero confidence.  Yet I still bet the same amt on the games that I do in the regular season.  It's so dumb and I've given way too much back to the books for no reason.  

I have learned my lesson, and will bet $20 a game for fun or do random parlays or something, with a cap on losing $200 max in the madness, but this lesson should have been learned already.  I got exactly what I deserved this madness.  Deserved to lose every fucking penny

If duke beats houston in final 4 I think I'd be in good shape to win the bracket to bail me out for this year lol but won't hold my breath.  I think I will need that matchup to materialize.  Not certain but think so.    I'd be so fuckin grateful if it happens.  

@Cappologist

 I know it's really hard to do, but have u considered betting against your own picks?

Best of Luck on Duke and next regular season.

sunday wouldve been the day to do that for sure lol particularly st marys play, since it was a hot take from b4 the tourney kind of play (obv my hot take upset thoughts had all been wrong) , and they already had looked too weak to do it.  I shouldve faded tf out of that thought.  

I did a s16 ml parlay.  I can't figure out which 2 or 3 of these teams will lose lol but what's another unit donked off at this point gonna hurt ay

1 / 1.13

Fla/Duke/Houst (fd)

terps/purdue/zona ml parlay pays 64-1
