Against the odds (recap)
Final record for my pics during the tournament was 13-8. It’s a shame I didn’t put my money where my mouth is. Thirteen wins out of 21 games would have earned me a pretty penny in Vegas, particularly if I had varied the amount bet based on my predicted confidence level, since my top five [...]
Against the odds (championship game)
My UncleLar Lock of the Tournament pick of Kansas over Carolina moves me to 12-8 with my picks for the tournament. My picks have been so successful that I’m probably going to make this a regular feature for all Big Ten games next season. Vegas has installed Memphis as a two point favorite. If you’ve [...]

Against the Odds (Final Four Edition)
My sole prediction in the Elite Eight went down the tubes so I currently sit at 11-8 against the spread. Since the bookies have installed North Carolina as a four point favorite and I have Kansas winning by four, this would be close to the UncleLar Lock of the Tournament. This is the second biggest [...]

Against the Odds (Elite Eight)
I went 1-1 for the Sweet Sixteen round which takes my overall record to a healthy 11-7 against the odds. Only one game of the four in the Elite Eight meets my three point delta criteria. The bookies have installed North Carolina as a 6.5 favorite. My power rating has them at only a 1.8 [...]

Against the Odds (Sweet Sixteen)
I’m just as thrilled with my predictions against the spread as I am with my pure winners picks. So far my predictions are 10-6 against the spread. I arbitrarily chose a three point delta between my projection and the Vegas spread to be the point at which I would elect to make a call on [...]
