Total Winnings, Round One: $404.35
Loss, Round One: $270.65
So, my usual tact in the beginning round of March Madness of concentrating on the upsets has once again failed. I got Harvard, thank goodness. But Nebraska wasn't even close; they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn while getting blown out by Baylor until inexplicably coming on strong when it was way too late. Meanwhile, N.C. St. had Saint Louis by the shorthairs until the Billikens started fouling and the Wolfpack validated the "Hack-A-Pack" strategy by continuing to miss free throws until they choked away the entire lead at the end of regulation. N.C. St. then lost in overtime.
Not for nothing, I made the mistake of listing the Wolfpack as three-point favorites when they were three-point underdogs. No one had them favored, but by rule with these Anti-Picks I have to follow by what I wrote and published. I would have escaped with a push and got $100 back, but since I typed in a "-" instead of a "+," I have to dock myself that Benjamin.

Got a long and scary day ahead of me, so I'll present my picks without explanation:
1) Dayton +7 $50
2) UConn +4 $50
3) Louisville -9 1/2 $100
4) Oregon +5 $100
5) Oregon M/L +193 $50
6) Mercer +8 $100
7) Mercer M/L +355 $50
8) Stanford +6 $50
9) Kentucky +2 1/2 $50
10) Iowa St.-North Carolina Under 159 $100
11) Stephen F. Austin +8 1/2 $100
12) Stephen F. Austin M/L +355 $50
13) Gonzaga +6 $50
14) Parlay 3) with 6), for $150.
15) Parlay 5), 7), and 12), for $100.
16) Parlay 1), 2) and 3), for $50.
17) Parlay 6), 8), 9), 10), and 13), for $25.
Good luck!
