Don’t try this at home:


Bettor wins $495,000 wagering on Fairleigh Dickinson to beat Purdue in NCAA Tournament


Hardly anyone saw No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickson beating top-seeded Purdue in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

But one bettor put a huge wager on FDU to win. According to sports business reporter Darren Rovell, a bettor won $495,000 after placing a $33,000 moneyline bet on Fairleigh Dickinson.

FDU was a +1500 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook.

That's either :

1. The smartest bettor you'll ever find
b. The biggest betting problem you'll ever find

Somehow I am in second place. My choice as winner is no longer possible. In terms of teams surviving, I am not bad in a couple of brackets.

I'm usually pretty decent at bracket pickin', but man did I stink up the joint this year. In 9th place ( outta 10 brackets ) here, & on my paper brackets the best I could do was get 9 of the Sweet Sixteen right. GUH

I'm comfortably in last place with only one team left. My patented "complete my brackets in less than 2 minutes after zero research" didn't pay off this year. I've got nobody left in my work bracket.

I am now tied for first. Although I have no more possible points. So this is the highlight of the tournament for me. It's all downhill from here.

The Ohio State women defeated UCONN to advance to Elite 8. (First time since 1993)

The last time UCONN women’s team was NOT in the Elite 8 was 2005.

As there are no Canadian teams, and I know nothing about any of them, I don't really care. I do enjoy when these big schools full of themselves fall flat on their face. Everybody hates a #1.
