By Paul Schmidt After a mediocre Thursday saw me essentially break even, I vow that Friday will be better. Or not. Either way this will be the quick pick edition of this spot, mainly because I have a young child teething and barely slept last night. I'm not sure if I'm even writing this right now or hallucinating it. I guess we'll find out tomorrow... As always, these … [Read more...] about Friday’s NCAA Tournament Gambling Guide
