NCAA Tournament Finish
What a great finish to the NCAA Tournament. Villanova making a last second shot to win the game, after North Carolina made a double-clutch 3 point shot to tie the game with 4.7 seconds to go. Great finish.
Here's the results of my picking the line, total, and money line of every single game this year (except the money line which wasn't available on the 16 vs 1 games in the first round).
On money line picks I was 45-18 (71.4%). Tim was 40-23 (63.5%).
For straight bets (with the spread) I was 31-33-3 (48.5%) and Tim was 35-31-1 (53.0%). (Note that for some games, depending on when we made our picks, the line was different. That's why I have 3 pushes and Tim only had 1).
For totals (over/unders) I was a putrid 29-37-1 (44.0%) and Tim was even worse at 28-38-1 (42.5%).
Combing all those bets, I was 105-88-4 (54.3%) and Tim was 103-92-2 (52.8%). If we were betting real money (which we wouldn't do on every single line, total, and money line - we'd only bet the ones we were more confident about), both of us would have lost money.
The overall bet we had came down to the last game, which is pretty rare. If North Carolina had won the game by 1 point, I would have won the bet. If North Carolina would have won by 2 or more points (because of the spread being between 1.5 and 2.5), Tim would have won. But Villanova won, and I ended up winning our little bet.
