    I just put a unit on UNC(+200), SMU(+110), Purdue(+160), Kansas(+135), Oregon(+161), and Kentucky(+115) to win their conference tourneys. I should make money even if I go 3-3. Now I will pay attention to some of these tournaments without betting them everyday. Just scoreboard watching now. Feedback, should this be profitable???

    Could win four, or just two. I don't know. I don't think Kentucky, UNC, or Purdue win. Oregon, SMU could lose. Kansas the only lock to me, though I like WVU.

      Next year I'll play the two seeds because their odds were minimum +450 in most conferences.

          Thats a nice play for some action. My book does not have that option or I was too late to place it. Next year I will look for that. good idea!

            If the 1 seeds just make it to the championship game I still feel good. The 1 seeds supposedly have the easiest path to the championship game. The 2-3 match up is the key. If they beat the hell out of each other then the 1 has the advantage.

                So true. The easier it is the more heartbreak when it loses.

                        I would say not a bad idea. Although if Gonzaga is a #1 I would skip that one and take the #2 seed in that bracket.

                            I only have SMU, Kentucky, and Oregon left. One #1 seed has gone down each day. Still a chance to profit.........Very little

                              Still a chance to go 3-3. I think SMU will lose though

                                Any reason you didn't do the other conferences? I could see not wanting to risk a lot on this. I saw this thread and ended up taking the below at + money, did less than a Unit on each though since wasn't all that confident. I think a few Tourneys already started when I did this so I didn't do them all either.

                                Kansas
                                Weber St
                                MTSU
                                Nevada
                                Oregon
                                TX Arlington
                                SMU

                                Kansas is an L, 4 are in the championship game, and last two are still alive (semis) but UTA is losing in their game..

                                  Some #1's were as high as -185(Villanova) and a lot of the smaller conferences I didn't even know existed or nothing about any of the teams in the conference. The smaller conferences are probably most likely to be winners because there is ALL incentive to win to get in, while the big boys pull a Moss and play when they want to play. You can't tell me that UNC is going to play another shitfest in the tournament like they did last night against Duke

                                    Been scoreboard watching and nobody is playing better than MTSU. They are blitzing everybody. Whoever they draw is going to be an upset

                                          True about the motivation for smaller conferences
