Well, if madness is what you were waiting for, the suspense is over. Some of the smaller conference tournaments tipped off this week, and we also learned which teams were advancing in the Champions League Knockouts.
A few surprises for sure, in the gambling world we call them upsets. We also defer to the word variance here as that's what this is. There will be ups and downs, but it's about having the ammo to be able to fire again and some people don't give themselves that.
The term "all in" is more for the poker player and is something you don't want to catch yourself doing in sports wagering. Yes, I know small bets sometimes don't get you pumped as you want to be, but in the long run they add up and put less stress on your bankroll. Good luck this weekend!

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
