March Madness Results

Folks let me tell you, don’t let the title of this blog post fool you, it’s strictly for SEO purposes. If the NCAA was being honest with themselves, they’d have called the tournament “March Sadness” to better reflect the heart breaking defeats suffered on the hallowed courts of noted basketball hotbeds such as Boise, Idaho and Nashville, Tennessee. Sue from Accounting, whom everyone loves for her bracket picking prowess thinks it’s not fair that either team has to lose.

Well let me tell you what’s not fair, Suzanne…

What’s not fair is having two points of CLV before game tip off only to watch your team never even sniff a cover. It’s watching a non defended meaningless three go in at the buzzer thus putting an end to your Kansas -4.5  wager. It’s a coach not put a defender on the inbound passer only to have a miracle three go in as time expires, or blowing a 22 point lead while allowing your opponent a 32-8 run to end the game.

That’s right Sue, the losses are tough on the players but they are young, in college, with their entire lives ahead of them. Where is the sympathy for the middle aged family man just searching for an escape.

Huh? Where is it, Sue?

Where’s the pat on the back and “you’ll get them next time” when my wife is telling me “maybe you should just bet the opposite of what you want too?”.  Shaking my damned head everyone knows that doesn’t work.

Although, after going 14-22 on game lines over the first two rounds maybe she has a point.

That’s right college basketball, you’ve made me do the unthinkable and contemplate that maybe my old lady might be right. Everyone knows you only admit that once all hope has been abandoned, a final move to save your bacon. Is this what’s become of us? Thankfully not, because we had the props to buoy our spirits and earning the right to say EVERYTHING IS FINE.  68-43, a 61% return. Sadly the limits were far lower on props and most books only posted a cowards offering, but no need to tell the misses that.

“Broke Even Honey, peaks and valleys, we move on”

She can’t appreciate the roller coaster of emotions that is betting on March Madness. Like our hero Dan Mahowny, we know it’s about the wins or the losses, but instead it’s about the rush at getting to either result. Believe you me, Cincinnati blowing the -8 cover will stick with you far longer than had they won with ease.

Now that I’m done rage blogging, here is the full list of results from Round of 64 and Round of 32 for the 2018 tournament.

So there you have it, not so sad after all, but we only dwell on the losses while discarding the winners as something that we expected to happen.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE….

Now you too can join in on the not fun. For the low, some would say too low price of $39 you get the remainder of 2018 March Madness. Game lines with plenty of CLV, props that thankfully don’t lose, and emails from our own AnonymousGamblr bordering on insanity. Easily the best value in the tout game.
