    I always get a good laugh out of people who think they are smarter than the books by looking at stats without some kind of mathematical approach

    math approach wont work either. you need to be in with the sharps. think about being connected to guys who know specific conferences right down to the teams and even referee trends..............of course nobody here is connected and i will never be so i take 100% bonus and try to make it last as long as possible. its fun

    Over a large enough sample size you will lose on parlays. Just basic statistics, not what books want you to believe. They can be alright for taking a shot here and there, though.

    One of the worst weekends ever for me. I swear every fluke play, foul call, buzzer beater went against me. Now, there is a natural tendency to remember the bad beats, and forget when you got some luck. But, this weekend was particularly bad for me. Oh well, that's why it's called March Madness. I did pick up a chick at the bar. I kind of like her. Crazy frikking weekend.

    The Madness killed me. ONE game each day cost me big.

    NC State +9 cost me $4k
    Arkansas +7 cost me $3,400
    Kansas PK 2H $850 on that late 3 poiner
    Cincy PK $2700 blew a 20 pt lead.
