The KenPom Criteria Qualifiers For National Champions

3/25/24 Pre-Sweet 16 Checkin Checking in after the opening weekend, and all six of the identified teams have survived, and five of the six are favorites in the Sweet 16 round. If you do the math on those chances to win, that adds up to a 76.5 percent chance the system identified the champion pre-tournament. I have been doing moneyline rollovers on all six of these teams, instead of taking futures bets on any of them. I’ll likely continue to do that for all six at least one more round. 3/18/24 A few weeks back, I wrote about the teams … Continue reading The KenPom Criteria Qualifiers For National Champions

Book Nook: 101 Whiskies To Try Before You Die, by Ian Buxton

weezel32

Blurb: 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die is a whisky guide with a difference. It is not an awards list. It is not a list of the 101 ‘best’ whiskies in the world in the opinion of a self-appointed whisky guru. It is simply a guide to the 101 whiskies that enthusiasts must seek out and try in order to complete their whisky education. Avoiding the deliberately obscure, the ridiculously limited and the absurdly expensive, whisky expert Ian Buxton recommends an eclectic selection of old favourites, stellar newcomers and mystifyingly unknown drams that simply have to be drunk. The book … Continue reading Book Nook: 101 Whiskies To Try Before You Die, by Ian Buxton
