FYI: MARCH MADNESS- MANY STATS, TRENDS, AND RECORDS....COME AND GET IT!

Calcutta - is like an auction. Players bid for all teams or in golf players. For example Ok.St. bidding would start at $5 and go up until the highest bid stopped any further bidding, A long shot team might go for $1. (Lehigh or Alabama St). All money collected goes into the Calcutta pool. Then prizes are assigned to say the top four positions with around 60 percent going to the winner. Not easy to do on-line unless you use play money, with a limited bankroll awarded to each player to start with. It would be much more workable with the sweet 16, as almost every team has some sort of shot, which is not the case before the first round. You could also only auction the top 4 seeds in each region etc.

Thanks for the work and information.
Question:
When you cap these games during the NCAA's, how much do you rely on these trends. I could see using as something to turn a lean into a bet, but do ever play any of the 59% trends an up reguardless of who's playing? Just curious as to how you apply them.
Thanks

good luck

TigerVen, as far as these go in my total 100% capping method, I use it for about 10%. This is usually used to look for similar situations and see how one of the past played out. I never use these to turn a lean into a play. I am mostly a situational and fundamental type of capper. I am not really into using Trends or past histories as a major way of coming up with my selections. If anything, it only will help to support a selection which is already been made using my other major selection methods. I hope this helps out. I put this out for information purposes only as I have stated up top, and that I do not recommend anyone using this a singular way of making their selections. Aloha CC.

 

[TigerVen]

Yeah, I wouldn't suggest following trends either because College B'ball teams change so much each year.

Thanks for the answer.

Ok Gang, I hope you are aware that the Second Rd as noted above is referred to UPSET SUNDAY. Well, today had some big upsets as well, in the number 1 seed Stanford and #2 seed Gonzaga, as well as the #4 seed Maryland, all goes down. Looks like this years tourney is following these past trends in a way. Tomorrow though, is where more noted upsets by the dogs have occurred. Watch out and BEWARE OF DOGS!.



FYI: Info on 2nd Rd.


So far history seems to be repeating today, based on the past 2nd rd games.



#2 Seed's performances is particularly troubling when facing the #10 seed: 5-8 SU and 4-9 ATS.

-Today #2 seed Gonzaga goes down to #10 seed Nevada.


#10 and #8 seeds own the best ATS record in this RD going 10-4 ATS and 9-4 ATS respectively.

-Today, #8 and #10 seeds go 2-2 SU, and 3-1 ATS.
