If you buy your futures on Matchbook, you can sell them back on the other side next week or the week after and profit even if they don't go all the way.

I have 2 units each on:
Pitt +680
Louisville +780
Conn +940

I will sell some back next week to lock in a profit no matter what happens. Only thing that would kill me is if one of these teams loses this weekend. I don't expect that to happen.

I am locked and loaded on matchbook. I bought up Louisville at +1600 a couple of weeks ago, and sold some of it back at a profit. I have spread enough around over the course of the season, where I will come out on top if any of the following teams win:

NC
Pitt
Louisville
Conn
Oklahoma
Syracuse
Marquette
