There has not been much madness in March.
In a tournament normally full of discomfort and Cenderellas, the support has gone chalk in many cases.
For the second time since 2007, and the sixth time, number 13, 14, 15 or 16 seeds recorded a discomfort. And for the second time in the history of the tournament, the Final Four presents all seeds No. 1.

Due to the lack of inconvenience, Johnny Avello, a creator of probabilities in Draftkings, said the bettor has performed this year due to a popular trend.
“There were many money line parlays. So the traigators have had a very good career,” said Avello.
Another trend in recent years has opted for each discomfort in the first round. Despite a low record in the loss of victories, the return of investment would be high, thanks to teams such as UmbC, Fairleight Dickinson and St. Peter’s.
But that trend did not work this year. The lowest seed to win a game was a seed number 12, and the propagation favored the state of Colorado in 12th position against No. 5 Memphis.

“The favorites won 12 of the 16 games directly on Thursday and had 9-7 against the number. They were 13-3 on Friday up and 10-6 against the number. We did not see the trend that generally happens,” said Avello.
Duke is now even money to win the title, and the trainers have gotten into the Blue Devils, Avello added.
“They have been the team that has been handsome throughout the year,” he said, adding that Duke would be at least a favorite of 4.5 points, regardless of whom he faces the final. Duke is -5.5 against Houston.
