Last year, after day one, according to ESPN, there were over 18,700 brackets that went 16 for 16.
Yesterday, there were only 273.
So why (else) does this get mentioned here?
A Yahoo! video I saw, indicating that yesterday, at least at the MGM Grand, was the second most profitable day in history, according to Jay Rood, VP of the Race and Sports Division of MGM Resorts.
The first ten games in the tournament were 0-10 against the spread.
I guess he may be speaking in general, but Rood says the only day that would be better for the books is a Super Bowl where the bettors get creamed.
One does have to wonder, though... Could this be another indication that games might be getting looked at with Vegas in mind?
Be careful playing with a stacked deck....
