Bradford, second in the League Two table, loses 1-0 at home to Tranmere, 22nd in the table. Of course. Oh well. Moving on...

Good two days. Wins:

Caps live puck line -3.5 vs San Jose. Caps win 5-1.

Anybody happen to know what the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds are ATS in their first-round games the past two or three years?
Took all six of them (Auburn and Duke didn't yet have their opponents when I put in the bets this afternoon) on a $5 parlay that'll pay $240 if it hits. Florida and Houston have big numbers to cover, but I figured that was about as good of odds as you'll ever have of hitting a six-teamer.

Also took Alabama +2200 to win the whole thing, for largely the same reasons. Gotta figure they're at least playing next weekend and in the mix. Plus I had $5 left after putting in the first-round bets and I didn't want to do another parlay.
The odds on the No. 2 seeds are still mighty juicy (Bama and Tennessee both +2200, St. John's and Michigan State +2600 and +2800, respectively). It's a little surprising how big the difference is between those four and the four No. 1 seeds. Houston has the best/worst odds at +700.

Thanks. So I wasn't crazy to think it was a low risk, high reward bet.
Might do the same with the women on Friday and Saturday. Some of those lines are in the 40s and will still probably cover with room to spare.
A $5 bet there pays $202, and that's without throwing in UCLA and Texas who don't have lines yet. Eyeballing it with a couple of placeholder games, it looks like an eight teamer would pay $723.

Ahh well nevertheless.

0-for-3 after two late subs for Montana airball 3s in an 85-66 loss. It's almost impressive.

I didn't bet on Louisville, but they sure as hell blew up my bracket within the first two hours of the tournament starting. Had them riding home court advantage to the Elite Eight.

Good news: My bracket is shipty but the only S16 team I've lost so far is High Point

Bad news: I'm typing this at 4:06 PM on Thursday.
