70/1 odds to win? I suppose would have been 30/1 or thereabouts for a final appearance then, not bad. But what were the odds for Kansas? That's more interesting. And now the hawks swoop in to pick out the talents I guess?

Well I don't know why exactly but I decided that I would lay some Satoshis down on Kansas tonight but that have been getting worked here in the first half. I was just expecting so much more out of their starting five, and three players are under 4 parts out of the starters. Ochai Agbaji can't do it all himself. I was also a bit afraid that North Carolina had ran themselves ragged after that last game with Duke. I also didn't think Armando Bacot was going to be playing very efficient tonight after getting hurt last game. No very hopeful with this second half lol.

Nice 50%++ profit on your satoshis if the spread just about made it huh. Did you double down on them at half time? Odds should have been mighty pretty on a ML.

Thanks for sharing that,,, I almost forgot all about this but I did try to tune in earlier while at work and saw that Kansas were still behind, might have been nice to see the comeback happening but is 16 points easily overcome in baskeball? I see a lot of meme sites with basketball and seems like 3 pointers 3 times in a row really rescues a game.

Nice job for all you Kansas betters

and well done ralle14 for picking it exactly right! 🙌

What a second-half comeback from Kansas, after the first half I thought UNC would just continue to get away with the lead but they're just missing a lot of shots even though they're getting so many second-chance opportunities.

Good thing both teams are missing their shots to keep the game under and I can't believe I manage to get everything correct including the exact total score in the prediction contest. Cheesy

Unbelievable comeback. Of course the spread I took got Kansas was -4, so I lost my bet, but I was just glad to see the game being made a good one, regardless of who won. When North Carolina was down 15 at half I certainly didn’t expect to see Kansas make a comeback but glad they did!

It was the largest comeback in tournament history for a finals!
Fantastic way to end it as it was pure madness and it did not disappoint.
This is the run down what Kansas accomplished during the game:

Ochai Agbaji was the game's/tournament's MVP and well deserved going 8/9 in 2 matches for three pointers before last nights match:

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10031687-kansas-ochai-agbaji-named-2022-ncaa-mens-tournaments-most-outstanding-player

NBA teams are already looking to sign this college basketball player just when the show ended:

Really nice to see and congratulations to the Jayhawks for an entertaining night in college hoops!

Thinking of fading myself on this one instead of backing Kansas, i'll go for the extra points on UNC +4.5 @1.87 this game feels like it'll go down to the final possession so I prefer the points (unfortunate there's no special markets). Did the same thing on the prediction contest and leaning a bit on the under, not too confident on the totals as I got wrecked last time I went for the unders. Tongue

Also, it would be nice to see Kansas win their first championship as they deserve it if they manage to edge out UNC but at the same time UNC are already tested against good teams.

The college basketball fans will go with the jayhawks at first glance just by the stats. But the same was said when looking at the Duke match up.
I am starting to go with UNC for this one now as well.
Thinking of it going into OT is not so far fetched so the over is very probable.

Less than an hour left to put your bets in on this last of the matches for the NCAA season closing it out!
Bets can be placed here for the next 45 minutes:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/ncaa-division-i-national-championship/kansas-jayhawks-vs-north-carolina-tar-heels-624911e9ba1b28bd61128e82

The odds makers are going with Kansas being the favorites @1.54x

North Carolina were 70 to 1 to make it all the way to be champions at the start of the season.
So now we will just have the wait less than 4 hours to see who takes it home from New Orleans.

This two team had a good show now.The game was not a good end for the team Blue devils.The sad news was K’coach gonna retired after their involvement of the last game.Which was not expected one by the player and the team.This was heartbreaking news for that team.He was the one of the best coach for them in a decade.So this going to huge loss for the team.

He announced his retirement at the beginning of the year, everyone knew this was his last game. What a terrible way to end a career. From a rival booting you pit of the tournament, anyone but unc lol.

So the table is set for the The Last Dance after two teams are left..

North Carolina vs Kansas

I'm going with Kansas on this one, even though UNC managed to tough it out against Duke I still think Kansas is just the better team. Odds aren't out yet but I hope it's close to a 50-50 as I expect this one to be a bit close.

I also hope there'd be a nice promo for the finals maybe another 4-3 free round or a free bet promo of some sort.

North Carolina and Kansas are the best teams but my support goes to Kansas. I could see that they're more determined which is too visible in their previous games. It will be a huge challenge for both teams but whoever wins, I'm sure that they will give us a promising match.

So both games ended with Overs on the points total, but from the look of it, only Kansas won this with some certainty. 42 years for college-level coach, that's something special even for an outsider like me to hear it. That still the norm there I guess? In football, even at amateur level now, if you get to past a decade as the head coach, and you're a rarity. Sign of the times or just a trend that's been evolving?

Anyway, good luck to you peeps on the finals. Don't see myself putting money down unless a special comes out!

What a match for Duke vs UNC as it was a heartbreaking loss for the blue devils as it was coach K's last game because he is going to retire after this season. Being at the helm of Duke for 42 years as head coach.

The story for the 15th seeded team has ended in lackluster fashion losing to the Tar heels 69-49.
It was a good run but the dream about going to the big ball just ended before the final four.

More devastated that I lost a 5 game parlay with the Hurricanes not winning their match today. It looked like they were going to win after the 1st half but it always depends on how a team going into the 2nd frame handles the pressure. Could of won $2000 from a $50 bet.
Next will be watching and enjoying the winners today going into The Final Four near the end of the week.

Yeah that was a fun run to watch but everyone had to know it was coming to an end. If st Peter's did win Vegas said that it would have been the single worst game to lose in terms of financial loss on their end. They surely were rooting for unc there lol.

lol exactly, we knew that wasn’t going much farther than it already had. Obviously a pretty great story though, I was kind of shocked to hear that is was the first 15 seed to have made it that far, kind of always figured a small mid-major school would have done it at some point that was just severally under-seeded.

Still huge interest to watch even if your favorite team(s) are out of the tournament.
But North Carolina going against Duke has got to be the highlight of the Final Four this weekend for certain!
This will be the first time ever for these two elite teams to face each other in the tournament's history.
When I heard this I couldn't think that was possible since they are usually in it deep year after year after year.
Everyone who watches NCAA basketball know of UNC and The Blue Devils.
It is going to a smasher of a match up and am quite excited to be watching this battle come Saturday night when the lights come on at the dance floor!

Trofo yeah, seems like a mix of upsets eventually helped me get across the line. Actually, can't find the Terms anymore, the 4-3-free tab doesn't even show me previous anymore unlike before. Probably right, can't be awarding 0 points peeps with freebets now, can they? 100s of participants by the looks of it.

So 3 correct for a prize then huh. Missed by one I did.

Quote from: buwaytress on March 22, 2022, 10:46:34 AM

I will actually take a serious look at some upsets. Peacocks already locked in on a Clubhouse freebet haha @6.72 with a boost, the biggest odds I can see in the remaining selection.

Also, totally forgot I put this bet down but a Sportsbet notification reminded me. And the only reason I picked it was for the odds.

The second-biggest upset won in the first round, and the biggest one in Sweet Sixteen. Odds are no longer as crazy with Elite Eight... biggest is Peacocks again at 36/10 so no bets for me.

^Woohoo I ended up in 5th position so I can look forward to that tasty freebet ha. 1st place shared only by a few people on 6 points -- didn't see any nicks I recognise there so I guess no forum peeps. Also, I see a lot more people participate in this one compared to other American sports promos in the past -- something about basketball?

Keep an eye out for next round I guess, next game in just about 12 hours.

6 correct in competition like this sounds like a wet dream to me

I ended with that 1 correct pick I had the day before so you were better in the end. That one pick is enough for 6th position so it looks a bit funny.

Where is the cutoff for free bets now? Not first 10 for sure since people with 0 correct are on 7th position.

I had 3 correct and received notification on the 4-3-free of a $10 freebet awarded for this round. As it shows another one for the Portugal WC Qualifier.
So it must be at 3 because there are 8 selections and those getting 6 meant they only had 2 wrong.
Probably was those who didn't think Saint Peter's would go thru to the Elite Eight which never happened in the history of the tournament with a 15th seed before. I knew they would do it but guessed they would of had more of a dog fight at the end to go into overtime so to get the over on points.
There was almost a tie 3 pointer that went in at the last second. But it fell short by an inch and bounced off the rim.

Almost had my betslip hit 54mbtc from a 8mbtc wager on the last three matches in the NCAA tournament and only off by 4 points to get the over on the Hurricanes.

Well, wow. Just checked the Leaderboard and I have a nice big fat zero points. Thought I'd mixed up a number of upsets there, but scored wrong on the Over/Under. Got Duke AND Arkansas... but went for low-scoring games on underdog wins. Wasted all my "luck" on the first round I guess.

Less than 24 hours to Elite Eight after the last Sweet Sixteen game, though, so we should be ready for next selection tomorrow.

Ha, I am better than you with 1 whole point, hopefully it will be enough to get at least free bet. Don't know why but I really like how some of these promos pay in USDT. I am always betting in BTC and often don't even think about bets in $ values so this makes a nice change of pace. I built my account to about 1500$ three times now and then lost it all. Every time starting point was 10$ or 50$ free bet.

I agree it only takes one 1 correct prediction to at least get in the top 10 since each prediction consists of two outcomes.

After the first four games today I got two teams correct Villanova and Duke but I failed to predict the correct total on the Villanova. On the bright side, the Duke pick puts me in the top 10 at the very least.

Well done! I see I have 2 points already and the top leaderboard has 3 so I guess I can be sure of a consolation prize at least. Getting the team right is hard enough, getting the over/under is truly like a cointoss,,, so it should be a mix of skill and luck,,, in my case totally luck Grin

I scrolled through the leaderboard but do not recognize any names there. They are not alphabetical though so maybe I missed you.

Lost my 50USDT freebet, made it South Korea, Brazil, Saudi Arabia but China managed to force a draw sad.

It is a BIG prize for anyone for free!

Good to know it only takes one to qualify. Cause we both got the only selection correct for last night.
The leaderboard is show several who got 3 correct. Because they all seemed to be upsets.
Gozanga, Arizona and Texas out.

Still hoping for the cinderella at the ball to go thru til the end at midnight.

Just reading back the posts, so it seems buwaytress actually got the most points from all of us but only got $20 usdt from that (you mentioned in Sportsbet main thread)?

So we all who got so few points got more than you, but in the form of a freebet

Of course, it still does not mean it is more worth to lose because if you end up being 2nd spot with few others, your share could be bigger.

My selections --> .-.

Didn't realize he was on the leaderboard with 10 correct. Thanks for the update on who got high enough on the list to actually win a prize.

Now on to the next round...
Sweet Sixteen time!
Here are my predictions for tomorrow evening:
Gonzaga Bulldogs and Under 154.5
Villanova Wildcats and Under 135.5
Duke Blue Devils and Over 136.5
Arizona Wildcats and Under 145.5
Saint Peter's Peacocks and Over 137.5
Kansas Jayhawks and Under 141.5
North Carolina Tar Heels and Over 141.5
Miami Hurricanes and Over 134.5

I put together a betslip but it is quite late so I'll put it up tomorrow before or after the games play.

For those who haven't entered in for round 2, you have about 16 hours left until they close the competition to enter.
It is under the 4-3-free so why not?!

I also got a $50 USDT free bet as I had 8 points but ended up losing it on a parlay that lost on the first leg while the rest of legs won which is annoying. Lips sealed

Anyway, I went with mostly the overs for this round as it feels like the safest bet when most of the top-seeded teams have been dropping 70-80 points.

Out of the 8 games I only have Duke and UNC as the underdogs. Hopefully one of them hits so I could have a chance at the top 3.

Gonzaga Bulldogs(Over 154.5) - Arkansas Razorbacks
Villanova Wildcats(Over 135.5 - Michigan Wolverines
Duke Blue Devils(Over 136.5) - Texas Tech Red Raiders
Arizona Wildcats(Over 145.5) - Houston Cougars
Purdue Boilermakers(Over 137.5) - Saint Peter's Peacocks
Kansas Jayhawks(Over 141.5) - Providence Friars
UCLA Bruins - North Carolina Tar Heels(Over 141.5)
Miami Hurricanes(Over 134.5) - Iowa State Cyclones

Duke is the underdog in this game? I'd take that bet all day, tech is good but definitely beatable they have a lock down defense but duke plays well against good d. That over us scary though since tech plays a slow drag out game. Gonna check this out though first time seeing it

That’s what I was thinking yesterday when I saw the lines for Thursday and Friday’s games. I have Duke in the Championship game facing off versus Arizona. I think the Dukies are primed to bust their ass as hard as possible for the final game of coach K. Here’s my elite Eight and final four .. right now I’m actually doing pretty well. I have a legit shot to win it all out of about 60-70 people I think.

Just reading back the posts, so it seems buwaytress actually got the most points from all of us but only got $20 usdt from that (you mentioned in Sportsbet main thread)?

So we all who got so few points got more than you, but in the form of a freebet

Of course, it still does not mean it is more worth to lose because if you end up being 2nd spot with few others, your share could be bigger.

My selections -->
Arkansas Razorbacks and Under 154.5
Michigan Wolverines and Over 135.5
Texas Tech Red Raiders and Over 136.5
Houston Cougars and Under 145.5
Purdue Boilermakers and Over 137.5
Kansas Jayhawks and Under 141.5
UCLA Bruins and Over 141.5
Iowa State Cyclones and Over 134.5

I also got a $50 USDT free bet as I had 8 points but ended up losing it on a parlay that lost on the first leg while the rest of legs won which is annoying. Lips sealed

Anyway, I went with mostly the overs for this round as it feels like the safest bet when most of the top-seeded teams have been dropping 70-80 points.

Out of the 8 games I only have Duke and UNC as the underdogs. Hopefully one of them hits so I could have a chance at the top 3.

Gonzaga Bulldogs(Over 154.5) - Arkansas Razorbacks
Villanova Wildcats(Over 135.5 - Michigan Wolverines
Duke Blue Devils(Over 136.5) - Texas Tech Red Raiders
Arizona Wildcats(Over 145.5) - Houston Cougars
Purdue Boilermakers(Over 137.5) - Saint Peter's Peacocks

Your correct Trofo it is worth it to take part since you have nothing really to lose for putting in your picks just so many already do across the world.
Received the free bet from my place from last week and will put in my picks for round 2 tomorrow and might even put in a multi-bet on a couple of games too.
There has got to be an upset in there somewhere and just wondering if Saint Peters will continue to go on through this round.

Well done leea, put all your freebets to good use. No point using it on anything less than 2x IMO, I know it's dumb as I throw them away on specials anyway BUT I snagged a pretty decent 3x last night so it kinda makes up and it's free anyhow.

I just realized that this is actually the best promo ever. You are almost guaranteed to get 50$ Free Bet if you just enter. Places 4-10 pay out that and places are shared. You just need to get a couple of correct picks to break that barrier.

So making my picks now and copying them from another punter. Hopefully this one is better than the one I used last time

I will actually take a serious look at some upsets. Peacocks already locked in on a Clubhouse freebet haha @6.72 with a boost, the biggest odds I can see in the remaining selection.

My selections for Sweet Sixteen:
Gonzaga Bulldogs and Under
Michigan Wolverines and Over
Duke Blue Devils and Under

Hi everyone. I normally discuss this on the discussion rev thread but it seems there is one just for NCAA here.

I very happily found out that I got a USDT reward from the Sportsbet Multi Master contest. I only got 6 points but I guess that even qualifies for 4-10th prize which is 50 USDT

Nothing more to spend it on except Internationals, but I hope to get better with Sweet Sixteen. As Trofo says, good luck bastardos!

For anyone wondering, you can check at Leaderboard tab on the 4-3-free promo if you want to see.

Yeah, it would be better without it

I have a total of 3 correct outcomes which I find very humiliating. Not for me since I know nothing about NCAA but for the guy whose predictions I copied. He wrote an article on 20 pages with analysis of all the games and got 3/15 correct? If I had results like that in sports I am following I would be begging for food in front of a mall. If I had results like that on work I would get fired day after. Good thing journalism standards are dropping fast so that is probably ok for him.

I have around 75% correct picks in football and tennis and I barley get into the green.

Re MM, I just saw the leaderboard, 4 of them on 12 so that's $2125 each I guess, generous returns for a simple prediction. Would have loved to know if they were doing proper predictions or just random draw.

I actually ended up getting 10 points, not bad, huh? After the crazy first night, hitting only 1, apparently everything left was the right pick. Go Sojourner haha. Didn't see too many usernames I recognised but this for sure had way more participants than regular MM.

You go more than me correct. Yeah go Sojourner go!

There was one guy on the Sportsbet.io Ann thread that said he was 3rd on the leaderboard.
So you can ask him how much was the prize for that position when it settles.
Because from the sounds of it he hadn't yet as it takes a couple of days for them to tally all the correct selections.
Just like the Superbowl Multimaster a month or so ago.

Should of counted the last match of the day.
So I actually had 9 correct in the Multimasters but it came to no avail as their were two or three on top of the leaderboard with 12.
That is pretty unbelievable to think they only had 3 incorrect on the bracket out of 15 games which had a whole lot of upsets with the cinderella story of the tournament:
Saint Peters Shocked

Fifteenth seed beating seventh seed Murray State to go to the Sweet Sixteen!

Don't know of anyone who bet on them to make it out of the first round but they did and more.

I made some good bets on the games last night and actually into profit from Gonzaga making a comeback late and scoring over 155.5 pts.

What a night for upsets and it is just round 1! Grin

Saint Peters was the most shocking one of them all.
This goes down as the biggest loss to a lower seeded team in the history of the entire tournament.
That is how unlikely it was.
But as they all say: "Any one can lose in the Big Dance and it just might be their Last Dance!"
Odds were over 11.71x for this 15th seed to beat the 2nd seeded Kentucky.

As for the Multimaster:
I had 8 correct and from the past ones have shown there is most likely someone on the leaderboard with 11 to take the prize.
The stats haven't updated from last night but there were about 4-5 with 8 correct scores.

^That definitely counts me out of contention as thanks to that UCLA Bruins late win, I have the exact score of ONE game right! Pretty sure a totally random selection would have done much better, but there you go, what happens when you don't know what's on the plate.

Honestly had no idea amateur sports was so big in the US. I mean, I used to follow youth teams from Liverpool quite closely, but never to watch a game, just to follow developments. Sterling was someone I really followed all the way to senior professional football, and then I ragequit when he left us for the moneybags.

GL to the rest of you! Any upcoming stars caught your eye?

I'm off to a bad start as some of the underdogs manage to pull through. Luckily, UCLA manages to go on a crucial run at the end of the second half to secure the win.

Hopefully tomorrow more favorites start to win so I could recover a bit.

Quoting my post from the other thread since this is the more appropriate place for it. Went for mostly favorites and going for a safer route for now since it's just the start.

I'll only go on the underdogs if there are a few teams that reach the sweet 16. Also good to see that there are tons of prizes up for grabs. Cheesy

So you said the first game started already, but I'm not sure where to find it. Googling NCAA shows me matches completed but using state names most so have to click each to bring out full details so I recognise teams. Now I know I should never refer to football teams by their nicks heh.

How dare no one go against UCLA Bruins!

As you can tell, Basketball idiot entering the fray. Selections as requested:

One favourite out already (Rams) and one of my picks Broncos trailing 19-38 at HT so not looking good.

Creighton Bluejays
Iowa Hawkeyes
Miami Hurricanes
Iowa State Cyclones
TCU Horned Frogs
Houston Cougars
~~Colorado State Rams~~
Ohio State Buckeyes
Marquette Golden Eagles
Murray State Racers
Texas Longhorns
Boise State Broncos
Connecticut Huskies
Michigan Spartans
UCLA Bruins

And with a useless fact of the day: in my local language it translates into netball; in our neighbouring country, they decided to just call it ball in the same language but borrowed the entire foreign word of "basket"... I laughed so hard the first time I heard it as a 10-yr old.

March Madness

There are the First Four currently going on but the real tournament starts on March 17th with the first round.
Here is the bracket that has been released about three hours ago:
