Well, once again, Gonzaga folded. And they didn’t even reach the Final Four this time. I’ve paid off my bet with Lawrence.
And, having learned nothing from history, I’ve bet another $5 with him on baseball. This year, I’m picking the Indians to win it all: the humor value of betting on the Cubs isn’t there any longer, I can’t stand the Dodgers or Yankees, and (as I’ve noted before) some of my family pull for the Tribe.
And 538 is giving the Indians a 13% chance of winning it all (as of today, April 3rd), second only to the Astros. So I’m feeling kind of good about my chances…
