March Madness: 12 vs. 5 seeds

[shosh]

So I have this betting strategy.

You bet the same amount on each of the 12 seeds in the first roound ($100 each).
Payoff is 6 to 1. If at least one 12 seed wins, you are in the money (200 profit).

In the last 5 years at least one 12 seed has beaten a 5 seed. (I think 9 out of the last 11 years a 12 seed has advanced to second round).

Already this year the 12 seeds are 2 for 3.

$400 in.
$1200 profit so far.
There is one more game tonight. Kent vs. Pitt.

The reason why I found this to work is because of the statistics and the favorable payoff of 6-1. Try it next year.

sounds like a promising gamble...especially considering the history of those games. Did you actually make this bet or are you just talking about it?

Re: March Madness: 12 vs. 5 seeds

haha... yeah but if no 12 seeds would have won, then everyone would have hated me. this way, see for yourself if it works, check with your local bookie and then next year bet...

i'm not a gambler so i followed it for 2 years before i placed my first bet.
