So my work pool scores 1-2-4-6-8-12 per round with an underdog bonus in the first two rounds where you add the difference in seeds. So if a 10 beats a 7, I get 4 points but 7 over a 10 is worth 1. Is there a good reason why, after I fill out my bracket, I shouldn’t just pick the underdog in round 1 if I have the better team losing in round 2? So if I have the 4 beating the 5 in the R32, should I just pick the 12 instead since I have the 5 losing anyway? I was pretty much going to pick all 9s and 10s unless I picked a 7 to beat a 2. Obviously might not work out but I’d only be losing a point on each game with the payoff being much larger. And if a couple hit, I’m in great shape.
