    1st day results
    3-4
    friday results
    W ky Win
    MDBC LOSS
    S Bama LOSS
    American WIN
    Boise LOSS
    San Diego WIN
    Austin Peay Loss
    3-4 again today

    Given that traditionally first round of the tourney is a time to load up on faves, not a bad start. Will be better suited after the weekend to put an analysis on this.

    Yes with the points. Outright games i havent been able to put a number on(a lot more variables).
    Not saying im playing all of them yet either, other than the couple i noted as being a definite play.
    But i really see a 4-1 day at worst.

    I had some thing like this for college football. All the money going one way right before game time and the line moving in the opposite direction. It would only be a night where there was one game not multiple games. I don't have the exact percentage of win to loss but I know that I made some serious cash off of them. I will be watching these games if you could before game time please put up the ones that you think will work. I also noticed alot of money on PITT last night and the line was not moving. I had MS ML also and they won.

    I was wondering if you could possibly post your sample data here. I'd love to check it out.

    IMGV,
    Davidson fits this trend better than any other game.
    But on the flipside, Wisc is 2-0 against this trend(beatingIllini and in beating Kansas St. Granted, they were within a few points of 4.5 which is the current davidson line, but clearly not as good as davidson...)
    I liked wisky at first but if you look at the purdue games, in which they lost twice this year, purdue played much like davidson is playing now.

    With davidson fitting this trend and the fact that they will use the same gameplan as purdue, I gotta go against the chalk.

    Nova(slight chance)

You are not supposed to be able to have that knowledge of where the most money is, but if you see a 80% fave with the line DROPPING, you know the money is on the other side(known as the sharp side). Being as Joe public is a chronic loser, and joe sharp is not, thats the side you want to be on, for the most part.

    The best way to follow this trend is wait until about 30 mins before tip, when the dog money should come in. If it still comes out at 65%+ and with little to no line movement, it is a trend play.
    BOT, i'm curious as to where you find out the betting trends, what site is most accurate on this? I heard sportsbook is off, and wagerline isn't to be quite exact either. So yeah, if you could tell me the most accurate site to see where the publics at, that would be great.

    Davidson+10 is a trendplay, only one of the elite eight

    13-12 ytd
    This is the best round for this trend over the last four years, going pretty large with KU +3.

    24%public = kansas
    76% - UNC

    Anything under 30% is 5/6 over the last 6 tourney games where the dog was at such a public dislike.

    It matches better than any in a while actually, as pub % continues to rise. You want to play the dog to public favorite over 65%(optimally, 75%). Also, you want this to be a national game aka televised(max public exposure), and what bigger exposure than the final four?

    14 - 12 YTD (53%)

    So i proved that it does work, and if you tweak it and add more filters (public favored teams, ie N car, duke, kentucky, etc.) You can easily hit at a winning mark as you can see, and considering faves were roughly 70% this tourney, and we only bet on dogs in this thread, we picked almost EVERY dog winner.

First 12
