Bracket Substitute
No bracket for me this year, but I did pick a winner in each region:
Midwest: Louisville +120
West: Arizona +1400
South: Kansas +280
East: NC State +1900
These are all on the tiny side just to have some action as the idea of an NCAA tournament existing without gambling is just too ridiculous to consider. Pinnacle has a much better price on NC State at +2400 but otherwise these prices are acceptable. They are also right in line with the ‘true’ odds as best as I can figure, so there’s no great value or anything here. Hedging available on Arizona & NC State if they make week 2.
Also everyone who bet on the Pope got smushed.
