Middle Tennessee State/Jacksonville State over 137.5 (-108), 1*
North Carolina +7 (-110), 1*
UC Santa Barbara/UC San Diego over 137.5 (-110), 1*
For those of you who bet VCU, congratulations. Looks like a little money came in on the other side of the Houston total. 134.5 across the board now. GL

St. John’s -3.5 (-115), 1*
Big day for my conference tournament futures. Colorado State has basically a toss-up game late night against Utah State. If they win that one, we will at least have the option to hedge and get our money back. It would be great if BYU or Arizona can pull the upset, as we have both of them to win the Big 12. It’s highly unlikely both win, but similar to Colorado State, we will be in a fine spot if just one advances. I might add a couple more later.

VCU -9.5 (-105), 1*
St. Joe’s ML (-120), 1*
I lean Tennessee against Auburn. If that game gets to 6, I would have to bet Tennessee. As for my futures, I don’t think I’m going to do much as a hedge. If you want to hedge the Duke future, you can bet Louisville plus the points and look for a middle, which is what I did with UNC yesterday. You could bet Louisville ML and either break even if Duke wins or lose a unit as opposed to 3 if Louisville wins. I like Duke in this game and I would bet them -6/6.5 if I didn’t already have them to win the ACC. So I’m holding, but I wanted to lay out the options.
With Arizona and Colorado State, it’s your call. You can bet Houston ML and if Arizona wins, you would still profit 1.5 units. You can bet Boise ML and if Colorado State wins, you would still profit 2.3 units. It comes down to how important the money is to you and your personal betting strategy. I have not decided what I’m going to do. I’m leaning towards letting all my futures ride, but there’s absolutely a way that you could buy out on all three futures and turn a profit right now.
I will have an update in a few hours. GL

Houston ML (-275), 1*
St. John’s -6.5 (-110), 1*
I’m going to hedge the Arizona future. If Arizona wins, I still profit 1.75 units. I was hoping someone would knock off Houston in the quarters or semifinals. I think they win this game pretty often even without Roberts. If Houston wins, I profit a half unit because I only risked a half unit on Arizona. Basically, if Houston wins that covers the money I bet on Arizona and BYU. I’m riding with Duke and Colorado State. Hope Florida wins today and we have another championship game tomorrow.

Boise State ML (-115), 1*
I changed my mind. I am going to hedge on my Colorado State future. It feels like Boise is right on the bubble. If Colorado State wins, I still profit 2.35 units. This game is so important for both teams and I don’t want to risk losing a unit when I can avoid that by betting Boise State. I’ll let Duke ride and if Florida wins today, I will let that ride against Tennessee now that they avoided Auburn. GL

Guess I didn’t need to hedge with Colorado State. Congrats to those of you who stood strong. I was right about the Houston hedge. Still profited 2.35 units overall with those two conferences. And we have Duke tonight and Florida tomorrow. St. John’s really turned it up in the second half, which we like. Let’s get Duke home now.
Today: 4-6/YTD: 170-149, +9.74
This factors in all my futures, including Duke which came through. Not a good day with the sides, but the futures made up for it. Still have Florida tomorrow. Tennessee is +180 on the moneyline. You can easily bet them to win and guarantee a profit. Or bet them +4.5 and try to hit a middle. I will let you know tomorrow what I’m doing with that game and the Big Ten championship.

George Mason +7.5 (-110), 1*
I like Wisconsin today, I just don’t know if I want to lay 4/4.5. As for my Florida future, I am not hedging. I’m going to ride with the Gators against Tennessee. If you want to hedge, the best way to do it would be to bet Tennessee to win. If they do, you will profit a little over a unit. If Florida wins, you will still profit 1.7 units. GL

Grand Canyon +10.5 (-110), 1*
I don’t really have much for futures. If you can find bets to win specific regions of the bracket, I would bet Duke to win the East. That region sets up very well for them. I think them and Florida are the two best teams in the country and they are priced as such. I would have looked for a spot to play against Auburn, but I think they have a pretty good draw. Houston could have a tough round two matchup with an underseeded Gonzaga team. They could also lose to Tennessee. In the west, I really like Florida. With that said, there region is loaded. UConn won’t be an easy out in round two. I think Texas Tech or St. John’s could beat them. There’s even a couple teams in that region who could make a run and be a tough out like Colorado State or Missouri.
Overall, this is perhaps the best group of one seeds we have seen in terms of talent if you believe the analytics. I think this tournament could be chalky at least when it comes to who makes the final four. I will definitely add more action for Thursday and Friday. These are some dogs that I wanted to bet now in case these numbers go down.

San Diego +2.5 (-110), 1*
Texas Tech -14.5 (-110), 1*
Adding the bottom three bets to the two I posted the other day. I also will be putting a half unit on McNeese, Yale and High Point moneyline as straight bets. I’m not posting those as official bets, but I will be sprinkling a little cash on those three bigger dogs. Probably a couple more bets to come today. GL

Good hit on McNeese especially for those of you who sprinkled on the ML and got around +260. Hopefully Yale can get the job done. Would love another +260 winner on the ML with them too. I lean Drake against Missouri. My concern with Missouri is they are good enough to make a deep run, but volatile enough to lose tonight. They are similar to Alabama in that regard. Alabama can beat anyone in the country. But they could also lose at any time and I wouldn’t be stunned. I might add another bet shortly.
