For the first time I’m trying out sports betting. I took $100 out of my poker bankroll to wager on some of the March Madness games. I’m using Bodog to place my bets since I have an account with them for poker already. I put $10 on each of the following games:

Indiana -1.5

Marquette -3

Illinois -8.5

Boston College -8

Florida -8

I went with teams that are all supposed to win according to the lines and they are all teams I had picked to win in my brackets as well. Each of these teams should be able to cover the spread if they play their normal games. My plan is to pick another 5 games on day 2 of the first round at $10 a game and then hopefully I’ll be enough ahead where I can double my best for 2nd round games. $100 isn’t much, but I’m not doing this to become a millionaire. I just want to add a little more excitement to the games.
