Split of Tournament Picks Increases Overall Winning Total
Thursdays
had been the day I would update how my picks did from the previous week. With
the NCAA Tournament wrapping up on Monday, baseball getting started today (or
was it last night? or last week? or tomorrow?), and the NBA playoffs right
around the corner, I thought I’d post a quick status report. I’m not like Joe
Younes on 97.5 and some others (Tony Bruno) who scream about big winners . . .
and just sort of ignore when they get crushed.
Despite
a pretty weak bracket, I came out ahead on actual picks in the Tournament going
1-1 for +75 points. Missouri torpedoed my pool and my prop pick (along with
Duke) that no 16, 15, or 14, would win a game in the real opening round for -50
points. But my 50-point pick on Kentucky to win it all at +250 brought in +125
points.
Readers
who follow this blog may remember that I took a break from making picks in
early January. Since my last update on December 22, here’s how my picks went:

an NFL/college parlay counted as 1-0 in College)
