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
Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: NESJunkie on March 03, 2006, 08:11:04 PM I'm always up for a little tourny pool......gotta warn you the last year i was in the top half a percent on espn.com and 2 years ago in the top 1percent on yahoo.
So just give me your money now! Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: Tynstar on March 04, 2006, 08:30:53 AM I would but I know ZERO about college hoops.
Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: wrldstrman on March 07, 2006, 08:33:43 PM guess theres no interest maybe just have one for fun when the brackets get picked

Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: Tynstar on March 12, 2006, 08:39:27 PM Well someone always gets screwed. I guess it was their turn.

Well, I guess they can join Michigan in the NIT. :-/ Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: Sauza12 on March 16, 2006, 01:00:11 PM 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.
Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 16, 2006, 05:57:39 PM Goddamn Xavier led the whole game then blew it with two minutes left.
Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: NESJunkie on March 16, 2006, 07:36:28 PM 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.
Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: wrldstrman on March 16, 2006, 09:54:22 PM the big east is a big 0 see what today brings......i dont care who wins any of the games as long as BC gets knocked out

At least they still have the best college name. Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: Sauza12 on March 17, 2006, 06:39:45 AM 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.
Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: NESJunkie on March 17, 2006, 06:05:14 PM 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!! Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: wrldstrman on March 17, 2006, 09:33:32 PM to bad west virginia is going to knock texas out if north carliona state doesnt get them first

Title: Re: NCAA mens basketball tournment Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 20, 2006, 02:46:51 PM I'm second to last in my bracket which I apparently filled out in record time.
