Thinking of putting down $500 on the tourney

[djefferis]

Splitting between 3-4 teams to win it all.

Thinking NC, Kentucky,Auburn

Who am I missing that I should be looking at - thinking $200 on NC and $100 on 3 others (or maybe $100 2 others and $50 on 2 long shots).

Wont be betting Houston/UConn (Houston at +500 just too small of a price in a crowded field).

Maybe Kansas ? Illinois ? Gonzaga?

Arizona is not to be trusted and short price too.

Anybody can get hot in these single games.

I'd go Houston $200

got 18/1 on UNC at MGM. 14/1 price at Caesers. Small $$ down. GL.

North Carolina should get a decent draw as the fourth number one seed. I like Kentucky but even I am skeptical of their chances in March because their defense is suspect. Their offense can carry them through their region at least so I can't rule them out for a Final Four. I also like Gonzaga but their history says you shouldn't put any money on them and they are down this year compared to previous years but that's why I like them there's no pressure on the Zags this year. Florida is a team I'm intrigued by because they can score and they have athletes to compete with anyone in March plus Todd Golden is a really good coach so I might take a stab on them or pick them to go far in my brackets.

Kentucky zero shot because of coach
Waste of money

Add a zero we all know your net worth +10 million EASY

I think you have the best ones covered (sans Houston).... I think Kentucky is suspect.

Houston losing today was likely a great thing. The last time they lost to ISU and then TCU in back-2-back road games they came on strong. I think it happens again after today's loss. Sometimes you got to be slapped around to realize you're not as good as you think. That happened to Houston today IMO.


The best
Auburn (best value as far as avail odds)
Houston

Good shots
UNC
Illinois
Marquette (they should get everyone back)

Contenders
Zags
Creighton
Tennessee

GL.... AND WIN!
