Investing Lessons from Betting on the NCAA Tournament
I know diddly about basketball, but from an investing point of view I enjoyed a piece in the excellent new Play Magazine on lessons from betting on the NCAA tournament. Here are four key points:- Ignore "seeding" trends: Once they have been announced, they have no relevance
- Stop watching games:"The best handicappers are people who don't watch games at all"
- Listen to Vegas: Sports book odds beat every other system
- Be selectively contrarian: Play it straight mostly, but perhaps pick an unconventional champion
