A buddy of mine from CT who has either won or been in the top 5 in the last 7 NCAA bracket pools we're both in is uncanny at College BBall. He went to Vegas and called to say the best "value bets" were NC ST, Fl and Ohio. This was before the first games. I didn't believe Ohio could beat Michgan. He badgered me to bet them straight using the points, also on the money lines and in a tough to win three team them parlay. He said stay away from the rest. Are you kidding?I would never have had that kind of discipline out there. Now I just need to see him to collect!
Not for nothing, but he has FL in final four along with KY, NC and Wisconsin. Good luck. He really loves FL. I never gave them a thought filling out my bracket. Shows you what I know.

Was out in Vegas for the Thursday -- Saturday games to celebrate my younger son's 21st birthday. It is a fun time to be out there. (And I am up on the hoops betting, but not by much because I am a very small better).
