NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUND 1 SITUATION
SITUATION
In Round 1 of the NCAA's, we look to play on any underdog to a favorite of *17 if they come off a SU and ATS loss and they are playing a foe who is not off a SU and ATS loss. That situation in itself is 110-72 ATS, over 60%.
EXCLUSIONS
If you're laying more than 17 points in this matchup, it's just 15-16 ATS.
If our team has a won/loss percentage of less than .678, it's 28-24 ATS.
If the foe, the team we're playing, is greater than .750, it's 23-21 ATS.
TIGHTENER
Out of our 110-72 base:
If our play on team was not favored by more than 3 points in the previous game, they are 71-32 ATS.
If the team we're playing against is either an off-board team or they were favored by more than 1 in their previous game, our play on record zoomed to 74-37 ATS (67%).
If either of those occurred, the record was 103-55 ATS.
If both occurred, the record was 42-14 ATS (75%).

Awesome Round 1 Angle.
PLAY ON any underdog who won their conference championship game but failed to cover the pointspread in the victory.

SECOND ROUND
A number of significant patterns have formed over the past six years in the second round of the tournament. Most notably are the performances of the underdog and lower seeds, and the results against the total. In fact, judging by the trend regarding the last day of the tournament?s opening weekend, we may rename it ?Upset Sunday?. See if any of these trends can help you in your second round wagering.

General Trends
- The rate of straight up wins by the lower seeds is 4% better in the second round than overall. (36%-32%)
- Two thirds of the lower seed wins come on Sunday of the second round. In fact, the lower seeds own a straight up record of 27-29 on Sunday, nearly 50%. They are also 32-24 ATS, 57%.
- The second round, in general, has been a higher scoring round. 52 of 97 totaled games have gone OVER the total. In fact, the highest scoring tournament game of the last five years was a second round game, that being UCLA?s 105-101 upset of Cincinnati in 2002.

- Favourites of 4-6 points are 11-11 ATS.
- Favourites of less than 4 points are just 11-21 ATS.

Before Last Year-

FOR ROUND ONE

Favorites priced between -11 and -14 are a back breaking 8-17-2 ATS (32%) over the past seven tournaments in opening round games. Mid range favorites of -4 to -7.5 were not much better at 21-29 ATS (42%).

The best price range for favorites continues to be heavy chalk. If you laid 18.5 points or more in ever single March Madness game in round one since 1998, you would be 25-17 ATS (60%).
