We all see/read on social media the greatest new "system" and how it's won XX% over the years.
What are some of the best one's you've read about and do you agree with them?

One that I recently came across.......

From Ryan Kramer who has a VSIN podscast...
60%of 1H unders hit in the First Four and Round of 64 all the way back to 2011.
With 4 out of 14 years not being +money.






Someone looked deeper into this....
Games tipping off before 2 PM EST with < 70 pts 1H Total are under 66% since 2011.

Interesting trend.

Remember the old #12 vs #5 angle before books caught on & adjusted the MLs?

How has the matchup fared last couple of years?

12 seeds records.....

Year	SU	ATS
2025	2-2	3-1
2024	2-2	3-1
2023	0-4	0-4
2022	2-2	3-1
2021	1-3	3-1

2023 appears to be the "off" year for 12 seeds.

Number 1 seeds NOT winning conference tournaments. It no longer makes sense to risk injury playing on Saturday and Sunday when your seed and region are already locked up. Calipari sat Acoff Saturday in a meaningless regular season finale. It just doesn’t make sense to play just to be playing this late in the season
