Title: NCAA mens basketball tournment
Post by: wrldstrman on March 03, 2006, 07:31:57 PM
what do you guys think about a little betting pool for the tournment..once the field is given everyone can fill in the brackets before the tournment starts and who ever picked the most correct winners would win..there are a total of 62 games  could pick someone and everyone that wanted to participate could paypal 6.00 dollars to that person 5.00 to put in pool and 1.00 to that person to cover their  paypal fees and then the person holding the money could send it to the winner...what do you all think.  bad idea(shouldnt of mentioned it) or ok idea

Hoo boy.  After 3 games so far, my bracket is already in some trouble.  I had Seton Hall going to the Elite 8 and they lost to Wichita State today.  I also had Pacific beating BC, but luckily I had them losing in the next round (to Nevada who is down by 7 right now).  At least I picked the Wisconsin-Milwaukee/Oklahoma game right.

Goddamn Xavier led the whole game then blew it with two minutes left.

The Wisconsin-Milwaukee game should have been UWM the 6 seed and OU the 11 sead. OU never lead in that game and couldn't play up to UWM's talent.

God damn, what a turnaround I made in the late games.  So far I'm 13-3 and leading my tournament pool with 71 points.  Of course I'm 9th in possible points left, but about 7 of the guys ahead of me are 20 or more points behind me, and 2 guys have California and Michigan State winning it all, respectively.  If I win this, I'm going nuts at Cinci Classic.

Good luck Sauza, if you are that far behind already in points left you could be in trouble, the later rounds is where you get most of your points.

Right now I'm in third in mine only 10 points behind the leaders and I have the most possible points left. Plus I'm the only one with Texas winning it all. If they do, pretty much no matter what else happens I will win it baby!!

I'm second to last in my bracket which I apparently filled out in record time.
