March Madness: More bets and the FBI

So much for a no-brainer. In a battle between stars Michael Beasley and O.J. Mayo, Beasley's Kansas State Wildcats coasted past USC 80-67 (USC was favored by two) and destroyed my three-team parlay. There are only a few games left for the night and none of them involve any personal action.

The best bet of the day (which I didn't make), however, was Belmont, which was getting 20, and ultimately lost by just one in a wild game in the West bracket.

As for at the tables, I'm still even for the day but that'll change one way or the other later tonight with more blackjack and some Texas Hold 'Em to come.

In the meantime, there's an interesting story in the Chicago Tribune about the FBI keeping tabs on March Madness betting. To read more, click here.

Hey, Brian!

Curious as to the poker play out there... are you at a no-limit, no-limit game or the $100 "Florida" game?

Or something in between?

And, would you take Duke in the second round -- i.e. do they stink or is this a wake-up?
