NCAA Sweet 16

You may have noticed that the "sports betting" division of Small Potatoes has been inactive since the Super Bowl. Now that one of the year's biggest sporting events is in full swing, you're probably thinking, "I bet Lucki Duck is gonna post some juicy picks for the basketball tournament!"

And you would be wrong.

Neither basketball or hockey (pro or college) interest me very much. I'll watch an occasional game if there's a team I'm interested in. For example, I've watched most of only one NCAA tournament game, and that was the local college (Baylor). Should I be in front of a television while the Bears (or Lady Bears) are playing, I'll probably watch. Otherwise, I'll be tuned into Storage Wars, American Pickers, Pawn Stars, or something similar.

Because my interest in both winter/spring sports is minimal, my knowledge reflects it. So, why throw money at something I know nothing about?

For now, no picks. But baseball season is just around the corner and the sports betting division will come out of its hibernation. Stay tuned, fun times are ahead : )

  1. Wow we watch a lot of the same shows, add in Monster Bug Wars or Big Cat Diary and we'd match.

  2. Looking forward to Football Season again.

    I'm considering making this the first year that I try my hand at sports betting which means I'd have to come up with it's own separate bankroll for the adventure and see how I do.

    1. Just read my blog daily and bet the opposite of me. You should be fine.

  3. Dang -- no wonder Neo, Duck, and I get along so well. Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, ... Can I add in Swamp People and maybe the one with the cute Texas women who chase after wild boars?

    1. I've only seen Swamp People once or twice. Growing up in SE Texas, I lived among them, so the novelty wore off long ago. I did learn to walk big circles around gators when I was a young'in though! And snakes.

      I do like the one with the boar hunters, but I think I like the one with the family that has the father whose accent is so thick they have to use subtitles :)
