    What do you think about Dog ML bets for all NCAA Tournament games?

    Excluding 16 vs 1 and 15 vs 2

    You have to fluctuate the unit size based on the odds to make it to work. Won't work with flat betting. And you need at least a 5 digit bankroll.

    Go for it. What the hell do we have to lose? Interesting what Pavy said. What’s the right starting unit? Could get expensive and lose a lot. Play to win X unit or just flat.

    if you bet $100 on every moneyline dog for the past 15 years, here are your results:

    266-703
    -$12,191
    ROI: -12.6%


    if you bet only the faves on the moneyline....

    you'd be down 155 bucks

    Good info. Everyone remembers a few of the upsets but for the most part the favs win.

    Betting spreads might be the better strategy.

    right, I'm trying to compile the last 4-5 years. As just the UMBC 16 seed upset of Virginia

    would have returned a bettor 2000 dollars on a 100 dollar bet we also had Michigan State losing in first round as a 2 seed pretty recently I believe they were close to a +2000 underdog as well.

    right

    I think if I have a notion on betting an angle, I scrap data or search for backtesting to see how it has done long term to give some indications for how a simplistic system might work.

    This year, this one year. for sure has the possibilities to have the most variance ever.

    so if you got a gut feeling, i'd not discourage you from that. I've been thinking about my approach and angles to this post season for awhile as well.

    here's my take.

    Talent wins in the end.

    when we get BIG march madness upsets, it's often from a small conference team, filled with seniors that have played 100+ games together, they have great coaches that continually helped them to stack learning upon learning upon learning with that cohesion as they hit 30+ games on the year.

    the idea that a well oiled team of less talented kids can put the cinderella slipper on vs physical dominance is hindered in a two year period, where not only are the amount of live action real games limited.....but

    these kids weren't able to just have open gym runs and practices for much of the past 12 months. There has never been a time in that last 100 years where kids had less of an opportunity to try to create that team synergy in season and off season.

    This is the year that I'll take all faves.

    find the blue chip teams with experienced and talented guards and just bet the phuck out of them

    best brainless angle i've found in tournie is to bet lower seeds that are favorites on the spread. Anyone know what those stats are? I bet they're pretty good.

    If I bet them all at the best available numbers, it should be good. Just as if I bet all the favorites at the best available numbers, it should also be good. That requires way too much work for me, so I only bet some of them, instead of all. But along with totals, 1h, props, etc., it ends up being enough action to earn profits.

    I agree with this with a couple exceptions. Small conference teams played no real talent for the past two years. Could be some bigtime blowouts. I am a huge fan of alt line at + on USA books. Fanduel/BetMGM in particular. Will be looking for some blowouts at +250 to +400

    Right and clueless sports media call that an upset! There are probably a fair amount of Joe Six Packs that would always bet the higher seed. Whether or not you are getting scientific value with the tactic is a case by case analysis.

    So, should St Bonny be favored over LSU? Here is one / Should Wisconsin be favored over UNC? Rutgers is favored over Clemson as a ten seed.

    Did I miss any? I do like your tactic. Maybe, we do not even want to know what they were seeded?
