    I want to double my bankroll for the NCAA tournament tomorrow... but should I try?

    I've got about $4000 to throw around for the NCAA tournament... Last year, I was in a similar spot, down on my luck and had around $4K in vegas and turned it into 25K and really saved my baskets season.

    This year, similar situation, had some bad luck in the championship weekend games and I'm down to 4-5K for my NCAA tournament run... Leaving me pretty much two options, or at least, these are the options my mind tells me I have.

    1) Go all in on Xavier ML tomorrow and then have a healthy bankroll for the tournament

    2) Lay off tomorrow and just build like last time.

    I know the 2nd seems like the smarter idea, but I have such a strong feeling on Xavier that I'm thinking about taking the risk and the plunge into the unknown. Worst case scenario, if I go bust my girlfriend won't be bitching at me for watching basketball for the next 3 weeks straight I guess.

    Xavier the better defensive team and the teams are comparable offensively.

    NC State also allows offensive rebounds and Xavier is pretty good at grabbing them. Like the location as well for Xavier, they should fill the gym, although Dayton fans will cheer for NC State out of spite.

    Who is this guy? Definitely a ghost handle. Guy sneaks in at the wee hours of the morning for 17 fearless power posts. He seems too seasoned.

    He has been bounced from EOG.

    Agree with Tham here. Risking your entire BR right before the real action is crazy. It's not like you have 200. You got 4000, just keep your head up and do some damage. Hope you didn't do anything rash
