Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to nature daily wager. I ain't picking winners but I am
- 0:10making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:21March 26th, 2026. And it was right there on the
- 0:25cusp the whole way through for the cover.
- 0:28Sprinkle never really came into play.
- 0:30But I mean, you know, there's always hope.
- 0:32But the important thing is they kept it close than double
- 0:35digits, which is what we needed. Got the cover, had a little 2
- 0:391/2 point cushion there at the end.
- 0:41We got the win. Once again, college basketball
- 0:44treating us well. Come all the way around.
- 0:46Full circle for the week started with the first four.
- 0:50Now we're back around into the Sweet 16, keeping this momentum,
- 0:54keeping this streak alive. Survive and advance.
- 0:57That's what it's all about this time of the year when it comes
- 1:00to college basketball. And so far, we've been doing the
- 1:04same as these teams that are still playing.
- 1:07We've made the wager, we've survived, we've picked up the
- 1:09money, we've advanced to the next day and doing it again.
- 1:13So let's see if we can keep this streak of humming.
- 1:15Keep it going. Sweet 16 tonight, tell you,
- 1:18here's one that I looked at early on when I was filling out
- 1:21my brackets thinking if it came, if it got to this one, here's
- 1:25one that I'm going to like to lay some money on and it's the
- 1:282-3 matchup. Illinois, Houston, what is it
- 1:32again? I'm looking at a superior
- 1:34shooting team, Illinois better at the three, better at the mid
- 1:38range, better at the free throw line, better at distributing the
- 1:42ball, and somehow even better at the offensive rebounding, right?
- 1:45So not only are they better on first chance chances, they're
- 1:49better at getting themselves second chances when compared to
- 1:52Houston. So looking at this line, it's a
- 1:552-3. So of course everybody likes
- 1:58Houston because they have that lower number, the 2 instead of
- 2:01the three. Illinois 2 1/2 point underdog.
- 2:05I like them straight up on the money line.
- 2:07So I'm going to be doing that on top of taking the points.
- 2:10That's how we roll. So that's what we're going to
- 2:12do. All right, so we're going to go
- 2:14Illinois University of minus, no plus for the underdogs.
- 2:19We're going University of Illinois plus 2 1/2 against the
- 2:22University of Houston in today's NCAA men's college Sweet 16
- 2:28basketball action. See anything better than that?
- 2:31Found it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
- 2:33to it. And sprinkle if you want.
- 2:34I'm going full unit on the money line.
