The Rhode Island Scumbag's betting guide to the Final Four

I don’t know how else to say it. The Rhode Island Scumbag is on fire.

Not like “I tried to ash this White Owl and burned a hole in the throwback Wes Welker jersey I wear to fancy occasions and court dates” fire, but in terms of cashing NCAA bets. I asked him to be our spiritual sportsbook sherpa as we wound through 68 teams to crown a national champion. Now he stands at the precipice of Mount Everest.

And, because he is fundamentally a good guy despite (gestures broadly), he wants to take us with him. Allow me to put his tournament heater into context. He’s recommended six confident bets in these guides and hit all six (fairly easily, too, though he tossed off a couple longshots that didn’t pan out). In his own words, it’s “by far the best and most profitable NCAA tournament that I have ever had.”

There’s no way we can leave you hanging on that — especially when our guy has futures tickets riding on half the remaining field in the Final Four. Let’s stay at the table in the middle of this heater and see what kind of wisdom he’s got for the final weekend of college basketball.
