14-2 in the Round of 32
7-1 for the Sweet Sixteen
4-0 for the Elite Eight
1-1 in the semifinals
1-0 in the championship game
53-10 overall
And the winning entry in the two pools that I entered. One for bragging rights, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Here’s a recap of my results so far.
16-0 on the first day
10-6 on day two
14-2 in the Round of 32
7-1 for the Sweet Sixteen
4-0 for the Elite Eight
1-1 in the semifinals
52-10 overall
Pretty decent record, if I do say so. I’ve already locked up a win in one pool that I’m in, but need Kansas [...]
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 [...]
My prediction juggernaut rolled on with a perfect Elite eight:
16-0 on the first day
10-6 on day two
14-2 in the Round of 32
7-1 for the Sweet Sixteen
4-0 for the Elite Eight
51-9 overall
Memphis has improved their power rankings to almost draw dead even with UCLA. I have the Bruins as a slight favorite over Memphis.
Game [...]
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 [...]
I’ve continued on my hot streak:
16-0 on the first day
10-6 on day two
14-2 in the Round of 32
7-1 for the Sweet Sixteen
47-9 overall

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 [...]
