[BeerAndPoker]

Thank You Dayton!!! Three times I bet on these guys including the first two games on the ML and cash 'em all which is better then I can say for some other teams that really have let me down.

yuupp..i thought they were better than stanford.....they played 3 flawed teams, and you could have had them winning 2 games if you were ballzy in your brackets....new mexico not being there helped them as well

[simpdog]

took florida -4.5

load up on ucla while you can

lol....ucla did beat arizona. but they still look like a slow team florida can glass easily...i need ucla. not really confident, but i am hopeful because of their unique type of team

[BeerAndPoker]

I bet Arizona and Florida for the late games which I'm not a fan of doing but screw it! I feel at least one if not both should cover.

March Madness brackets take fun out of game for fans

http://www.alligator.org/news/local/...a4bcf887a.html

Putting money on March Madness brackets may make fans go a little bit madder, experts say.
Betting on the games can reduce enjoyment for spectators, said Yong Jae Ko, a UF associate professor in the Department of Tourism, Recreation and Sport Management.
The NCAA Tournament is one of the most popular tournaments in the sports gambling industry, he said. Many people create brackets that predict the matchup for each tournament game, the overall winner and the final score.
But Ko said there is a difference between fans who watch for fun and fans who watch for competition.
“When you increase your betting money, the enjoyment, fun aspect decreases,” Ko said.
Making brackets can lead fans to focus on the competition aspect rather than relaxing and enjoying the game, he said. He recommended that students separate these dimensions while watching the Gators.
Jonathan Arnholz, a 20-year-old UF public relations sophomore, is the vice president of the Men’s Basketball Rowdies. He said that bracket expectations have already lowered with the first two rounds of highly unpredictable outcomes and upsets, so most are just participating for fun and hoping that their friends’ brackets are worse than their own.
“Everybody’s expecting their bracket to get busted,” he said.
Caitlin McVeigh, a 21-year-old UF accounting junior, makes a bracket annually to bet against her brother. Betting low amounts of money still allows her to enjoy the games, McVeigh said.
“I’m very risk-averse, so the more money, the more scared I would be,” she said.
Ko said he is more interested in watching the games with his friends and family.
“Sport consumption is a social function, so winning and losing is not everything,” he said. “It’s all about the memories.”

What's an Orion article?

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

I haven't done a bracket competition in years. It took the fun out of it for other reasons for me.

Nothing gayer than rooting for a 1 to beat a 16 because you have them going all the way. Other than betting interests and my favorite childhood teams the only enjoyment I get from sports is to root on underdogs.

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

And when I used gayer in my above post it wasn't just a figure of speech. I was trying to offend gays.

you guys are crazy if you bet whisky. an even dumber bet would be whisky ML

baylor has looked like a final 4 team in it's first 2 games, and have played awesome late in the season. their only loss was a game against iowa st in the big 12 semi...they blew a 12pt second half lead in that game. i can't see one reason to bet wisconsin and feel good about it...defense isn't even this baylor's team strong point, and they dominated twice..playing defense better than anyone in the tourney..it's very rare to see such size/reach and quickness...

solid read bro

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

anyone wanting to bet UCONN +2 I suggest parlaying it with U 148. Somewhere between 2.5/1 to 3/1 depending where.
,
UCONN literally never wins this with over being hit.

ISU could win with under so faders don't reverse parlay.

Wisconsin made Baylors defense look like a high school team last night. Just creighton in red jerseys huh?

Well one anyway. You gonna ride with UCONN tonight and under?????? That's the only one I'm firing on unless I get convinced.

I'm on that as well. I think UCONN wins and keeping it under 148 or 149 is the only way they will get it done so the parlay looks like money. I'm probably going to play MSU -2.5 too.

For tomorrow so far I haven't decided for sure yet but I'm leaning towards both dogs. Dayton +10 and Wisconsin +3. Whether I play them separate, parlay, or take four points to tease them yet I'm still debating.

Well its been almost a week since I hit 7 teamer so trying again.

I picked Arizona. But if it somehow gets to that point I would hedge anyway

Lakers +11
Memphis +2.5
UCONN +110
UCONN vs. ISU U 148
Kentucky vs. Louisville O 139
Tenn vs. Mich U 136.5
Arizona -2.5

Edit: Just listened to vegas runner talk about how Iowa St. was his play of the night.

My most confident pick of the night is Tenn vs. Mich U 63.5 first half.

[BeerAndPoker]

Iowa State is a good team. They could fuck this up for us but I like the Huskies to get the job done.

Oh for sure. Should be fun night. The entire point difference for all 4 games could be under 15. Or Tennessee falls apart and Mich wins 75-50
