I used to post by a name of wildcats29 many moons ago …. If you know Warren sharp he and. I went on to join forces in pick 5 football contest down in Vegas as well as building a o/u app (unfortunately it was ahead of its time truly) … Warren has gone on to now truly own tout and wrote for ESPN amongst other things. He and I actually have lost touch over the years … anyway I’m a golf handicapping pro, soon to start a podcast about it… and No Rx I’m not going tout, this isn’t to push a tout service.. this is simply me giving back and helping others on bets I’m making myself … without further adue, here is your march madness play of the day :
Let’s unscramble the confusion surrounding what’s going to be a closely contested battle in many people’s minds… the good old #11 seed vs #6 matchup in round 1 of ncaa tourney. Over past 10 years this match up is 20-20 su and 24-16 ats for the #11 seed. As we look at the 4 matchups we key in on the Oregon vs S.Carolina Game.. taking a look at the public perception which currently is 66% betting the #11 Oregon ducks , we see the line movement which starts opposite bringing the gamecocks from a +1 opening to a -1.5 then in past 24 hours reverses course back to. Oregon -1.5 .. this is a game that shows true public perception and betting handle but it does not tell the story of where the “Sharp” play is …. To simply put it have no interest in the end game winner. Rather the opportunity for profit is in the 1st half :
South Carolina Gamecocks at +.5 -120 1st half Now for the reasoning
South Carolina 1st half +1.5 -130 5 ⭐️’s out of 5 ⭐️’s
good luck to all

- Travel - Oregon crossing the country west to east always the more troubling time change , having just exerted themselves thrus-fri-sat in a conf tournament (a tournament they had to win btw to make the big dance) they wait till Sunday night to find out where they are going , fly on a Monday with 2 days of practice and acclimation for a major challenge on Thursday
- S. Carolina a major underrated team. To me the SEC is the cream of the crop in college sports whether football or basketball they consistently turn out a deep wealth of talent and schools.. the gamecocks have quietly been the most sound team in the conference .. going 26-7 and 13-5 in conf play , including 12 games against tournament teams. This team is majorly overlooked and playing with the kind of chip on the shoulder that can take a team like this on a deep march run
- The 3rd is the most valuable piece of information and is exactly why our bet is the gamecock team in the 1st half … Oregon who once again is playing on short rest, in a major time zone change, playing in the middle of the afternoon is only 19-13-2 ats in the 1st half …. And the Well rested Gamecocks making the short flight up to Pittsburgh is an Outstanding 25-8 in the 1st half !!
South Carolina 1st half +1.5 -130 5 ⭐️’s out of 5 ⭐️’s
good luck to all
