A Cinderella or two maybe but this year in particulallyr the #1 and 2 seeds are really strong. Just like football "everybody" might hate ALA, OHIO STATE, CLEM, OKL, etc, but they want to see them play.....the NFL "football factory" schools. I dont give a shit about what the fucking networks want. Unless they want to pay me to root for their ratings, they can go piss up a rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASSOCIATED PRESS Last year's March Madness ratings tumbled, with average viewership for the men's basketball tourney tying its lowest numbers since 2009. The final, a dull affair between Michigan and winner Villanova, dropped to an all-time low with 16 million viewers. (ALL TIME LOW?) So the big question in media heading into the tournament, which opens today, is whether numbers will rebound from last year. This is a big deal for advertisers. They pay millions of dollars to get their ads in front of NCAA viewers. There's reason to believe this year will bring better numbers—five reasons, in fact. 1.

There is parity there GHWB that's why #12 and 10 seeds won yesterday -but- it is tough if not impossible to win 6 games without a full powerhouse bench. In the past 34 years only one #8 seed has ever won it. Maybe you're more the NIT type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 It is almost chalk to this point: In 2 of the brackets, you have the 1,2,3,4 seeds left. In one you have 1,2,3,5. Only Oregon is left who is lower than a 5 seed. But damn, that would have been sweet if that last UCF tip in had made it to send Duke home.

Chalk means going by the seeding in terms of who advances. I know that there have been some close games wherein if you bet on the underdog you may have made out. But I am only looking at who advances. Like I said, a Duke loss would have been sweet to foul up the seeding. Question: Isn't this time...NCAA tournament time, one of the busiest times of the year for the Vegas Sports Books? (and now we can go beyond Vegas...Delaware, NJ and others?)

The Gipper Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 With the fucked up tax situation in Ohio, I don't know why they don't just legalize it and tax it. That and Marijuana. Instead, they want to raise the gas tax. And I say bring back the Estate Tax. The dead don't care if they are taxed... Note: No sports betting venues in Sharon. Closest is in Pittsburgh: https://www.playpennsylvania.com/sports-betting/ West Va. has them in Wheeling and at Mountaineer. Mountaineer is closer to NE Ohio. It is only 89 miles from Akron.

Basically yes WVA was among the first to jump in. In a few years over half of the states will have legalized sports betting just like the state lotteries others will come onboard. Now about 75% of all legal gambling is done on mobile devices.......this is bad a lot of people who should never bet can with an app and credit card. A great piece on this on the last 60 minutes.
