March madness has become a joke

Haven't bet alot games this year only been few good games  this whole tournament and in my opinion it's becoming a big joke 

@GMAN2100

UConn/ florida

arkansas/ Kansas 

 Maryland/ Florida 1st half 

duke / Arizona 

ole miss/ MSU

maryland / Colorado state

creighton/ auburn 1st half

uc San Diego / Michigan 

Michigan / Texas am 

texas tech / Florida final 3 minutes

Purdue / high point 1st half 

Troy / kentucky first half 

Agreed...only a few entertaining games...NIL and transfer portal have mucked things up but good

A lot is two words  The tourney has been just fine as it always has been 

Every generation swears the game was better “back then.” Meanwhile, it just keeps evolving—and March is still magic.

Definitely the least exciting tournament of this century. Can count the total amount of good games on one hand. Unless you’re someone that closes your eyes and bets favorites blindly I don’t know how anyone else could be enjoying this.

Transfer Portal Madness + NIL

In my opinion, March Madness is the greatest sporting event in history—nothing else comes close. But hey, that’s just me.

Or maybe it’s just always been an excuse to day drink not sure

It’s a very top heavy sport right now because of NIL/Transfer portal. Right now it’s the Wild West and as long as there’s zero regulation the rich will continue to get richer. Personally I would like to see NIL become contractual with 2-4 year terms put in place. If a player chooses to transfer and break their contract then they’ll be forced to sit out a year like they use to. The only thing that should void a contract is going to the NBA/professional ranks. Something needs to be done.

 Well said and agree keep up the great work have enjoyed your threads all year

@KC_4_LIFE

 Yep, I heard a quick interview from an HBCU coach.  7 or 8 of the top players are transferring out because of NIL.  I don't blame the kids.  

Small schools are becoming elevated JUCO.

it's garbage. elite 8 team scores 10 points in 17 minutes 

2013: Syracuse defeated Marquette 55-39, combining for 94 points

Translation: I can't pick a winner to save my life and definitely have the Vols ??

@LVTruck

 All due respect. Where's the madness this year None I've seen 

No big deal, bud—everyone’s different. I’m having a couple of beers, watching the game, chatting on Covers. My dog’s on my lap, and my wife’s cooking some food. Just trying enjoy the game…..BOL

 You're awesome tuck love you're lifestyle as I do the same transplanted from lake las vegas in 2022 for the beaches in Florida and hard rock betting lived in Vegas almost 20years 

There’s been no cinderellas that’s why

Hard to discipline these kids too. That St John’s kid got into a spat with Rick pitino and Pitino benched him for a half and now the kid entered the portal.  

Transfer portal ruined so much. Tourney is kind boring and predictable. Speaking from a non betting perspective.

Almost would rather watch Chloe Kitts and SC on the women's tourney. Not joking.

Getting good
