Tough stuff for our futures the last few days. Should’ve hedged before Duke vs. UConn, when we had the leverage.
We’ll see what we can get back. Might get ugly.
NIT Championship
We’re going against some of our principles here, meaning we’re going against kenpom, but Auburn’s coming off what might have been its best game of the year, and while that’s no guarantee of future performance, it was enough to sway us. We’ll take the moneyline and put what we would win on the spread to try to chip away at our deficit.
Pick: Auburn to win –250. 36.00 units to win 14.40.
Pick: Auburn –5.5 (–110). 14.00 units to win 12.73.

I am only roughly 90% confident in these numbers. At some point we’ll get that Google Sheet up which tracks all our bets this year.
