Everyone ready for the tourney? Fox Bet is not working for me today and I have no idea why. Please feel free to tweet me any odds boosts you see on Fox Bet and I will reply with my thoughts. I hope that I can get on eventually. I did make a few NCAA bets for the first two days of the tourney. I tend to love bet the tourney a ton as I think you can get a feel and watch how teams and coaches adjust. I will be all over Twitter the next few days in addition to the normal articles, I will be talking more about college the next few days.
To celebrate the tourney Fan Duel is doing a spread the love event for Thursday. Just bet Michigan State +96 or whatever they are and you will win $45 on your $50 wager. Go collect your free money.
I have added two futures in Florida State at +4000 and Illinois at +700. That gives me WVU, ILL, and FSU. Notice that the teams I am taking cannot meet until much deeper in the tourney. I also got really wild and threw and tiny wager on Illinois to win the title and Bryson to win the Masters at +8100, sure why not. Draft Kings will allow you to do these things. I also have Bryson at +1700 and Xander at +3600 to win the Masters from bets I made a while ago. Reminder, if you get free bets you should try and use them this way!
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

NBA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Zion to score 25+ and Dame to make 5+ threes +250 (FD)
Zion’s point prop is set to 27.5.
Zion is -200 to score 25+ points.
Dame’s made threes prop is set to 4.5 and the under is juiced.
Dame s -108 to make 5+ threes.
If you parlay them, this should pay +182. Dame has got there in five of his last eight games. Zion obviously, can get there as he did against Portland two days ago. I am in here. Tight spread, competitive game, massive total. In.
Lebron to record a triple-double +340 (FD)
Lebron is +335 to record a triple-double on DK. This is not much of a boost. If you liked this before you saw the boost, sure go for it. I am passing.
Donovan Mitchell and Bradley Beal to score 30+ points +440 (DK)
Mitchell’s point prop is set to 28.5 and the under is juiced.
Russ is slated to sit and there is nothing listed for Beal here at the moment. The biggest concern here is a blowout as the Jazz are massive favorites. I will decide later when I have more information and post on Twitter.
Knicks/Jazz/Pelicans to win +250 (DK)
This is a boost as it should pay +208. However, after seeing how the Pelicans blew that game against Portland the other night, they can do it again here. I have zero trust in the Pelicans. Pass.
NCAA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Any 12 Seed to beat a 5 -125 (DK)
This is -400 or so on every website and I have bet a 12 seed plus the points. I am in.
Gonzaga to win their region +100 (Fox)
I saw this the other day and assume it is still up. This is a massive boost as the Zags are favored to win their region at -260. Obviously, you can and should play this.
TT/Tenn/SYR to all win +400 (DK)
TT is -4 (-190)
Tenn is -9 (-460)
Syracuse is +3 (+136)
Like with most of these money line parlay boosts, did you like these three before you saw the boost? This should pay +339 parlayed together. I think this might just be betting on Syracuse only provided the other two handle their business. I kind of like Syracuse, but I am staying away from this.
Arkansas /UNC/SDST to all win +315 (DK)
Ark -9.5 (-390)
UNC -1.5 (-118)
SD ST -3 (-162)
First off, way to go DK putting both sides of a game in different boosts, so they cannot lose both. This should pay +275 or so at the moment so it is a boost. Just like above, if you liked this before, and then proceed. I have zero faith in UNC and as I said above I kind of like Syracuse. Pass for me.
MSU/Drake/Tex Sou to all win +575 (DK)
All of these are small spreads and could go either way. This parlay should pay +502, so like above if you liked these three before, fire away. I said this on the radio the other night on 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh. Do not bet these just because they exist. If you liked these games and the boost exists, then go ahead. Make sure you actually, you know think these teams will win. Pass for me.
WVU and Nova to both win by 10+ points +373 (DK)
WVU is -13 and Nova is -6.5 points.
The best comp I can come up with is WVU -11 parlayed with Nova -8.5, which pays +267. I assume adding points to Nova will increase that payout. This is a boost, however, I have already bet Winthrop for +6.5. So, pass for me.
