Name your bracket after your name on here so we can see who all is involved. We will make the entry $10, once you send the $10 to my paypal your bracket will become eligible. In your paypal transfer write your screen name on here so I know who you are. Later in the week we will decide the payout system after we see how much is in the pool. Obviously to make this legal, all funds will be distributed..

[Thunder Dan]

seriously, you guys are all making me question your manhoods. What man doesn't like gambling and basketball?

[urunobili]

[urunobili]

[IronMexican]

I did. UNC has been favored 3 years in a row. They're gonna choke, again.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'm in Thunder Dan, what the deal with paypal exactly?

I just figure that everyone should pay their $10 and whoever wins will be transferred the money. I think it's better than having someone lose all their games tomorrow then not paying whoever wins. I think we will do winner takes all, or possibly 2nd place get some money if we get more people

[Thunder Dan]

we can vote on the payouts later once we find out how much the prize is

[IronMexican]

I think Only the winner should get money.

[Spursfan092120]

I'm in..UNC ain't gonna choke it away this year, Iron Mexican...got UNC taking out Louisville in the NCG. My SN is in the message.

How bout 2nd place doubles their money (20) and winner takes the rest? That sounds fair.

Tyler Hansborchoke is getting taken down by Blake Griffin.....write it down....take a picture......crappy white players ultimately get beaten by real talent.

[Thunder Dan]

your bracket isn't in there is it? I don't see it. I'm assuming the person that didn't follow directions and named it after tacos is Joe Chalupa

[Thunder Dan]

yeah, I'm not opposed to that. I will create a poll after we figure out who all is in, and decide. Once we get all the brackets in and filled out then we can discuss the payouts because we will know how much money we have. If we get more we could even give 3rd their money back or something- so let's wait and see how much we have

[IronMexican]

How do I make my picks?

[IronMexican]

Just made it. How do I make all my picks?

[Thunder Dan]

just click on whatever you named your bracket and click on the teams you think will win and when you are done make sure you enter a final score and hit save. It will tell you when you are finished. It's pretty cool, it gives you all the stats and keep track of the games for you as they finish

Tyler Hansborough = great college player, bad future NBA player.

[IronMexican]

I have to pick the champion right now or something? Or don't do anything on "Semi's & Final's" yet?

[Thunder Dan]

I don't even watch college basketball except for Ohio State. So I don't know anything about any of the times, so I might just pick colors

[IronMexican]

Can anyone help me? I have to do the whole 32, sweet 16, elite 8, final 4 and the championship game right now? Or just the first round?

[Thunder Dan]

it will take you through the rounds as you complete it. After you finish all the rounds 1 and 2 games it will take you to the later rounds

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Yeah ironmexican you have to pick them all.

[Thunder Dan]

Can anyone help me? I have to do the whole 32, sweet 16, elite 8, final 4 and the championship game right now? Or just the first round?

you pick every game. They give you the first 2 rounds first, then a different screen comes up and gives you the elite 8 and then Final Four. Just keep picking teams until you can't pick anymore then you know you are finished

[IronMexican]

Mkay, done did it. Hope I win.

[IronMexican]

Memphis better not let me down. They are going into this with a huge chip on their shoulder. ESPN told me.

[Thunder Dan]

you can still go back and change it up until tomorrow when the game start- so if you change your mind on something.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Tyler Hansborough = great college player, bad future NBA player.

And just like all of those players that have played since the one year rule has been in place, his team will come up short.

Dj Augustin was the same way, and he lost because a player that should have been in the NBA (Rose) carried his team through the tournament. Same thing will happen with Griffin.

:flipoff


I was hoping no one else would pick them.

Still sticking with UNC...

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Still sticking with UNC...

I know I ain't changing your mind, I don't want to. The more people that pick the chokers the better.

[Spursfan092120]

I know I ain't changing your mind, I don't want to. The more people that pick the chokers the better.
We'll see about that. :) Chokers? When was the last time Memphis won the title?

[IronMexican]

It was a tough choice between Pitt and Memphis.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

We'll see about that. :) Chokers? When was the last time Memphis won the title?

how is that relevant? The last UNC title has nothing to do with this year. Their choke job the previous two seasons does however because those teams all have the same best player.

Lol I'm still waiting for people to fill their brackets on my tourny. I might end up playing myself this year :(

At least it's a guaranteed victory. :tu :)

[NBAdime]

A victory without trash-talking is not a victory :bang

[Spursfan092120]

A victory without trash-talking is not a victory :bang
This is true.

[TwinTowers]

What's with the $10 to paypal, are you trying to pull Nigerian scam?

:lol

[Thunder Dan]

:lol

how else would the winner get their money?

I don't understand why that is such a big deal- isn't keeping it in a central location then sending it out to the winner better than trusting that everyone will send the winner $10 after they all already lost?

[Spursfan092120]

Have to agree 100%. I won my fantasy football league last year, and everyone was supposed to send their money to the winner...no one sent it...bastards :)

It would also be illegal if Thunder Dan kept any of the money (assuming he didn't come in 1st or 2nd place), so I trust him here. Plus, it's 10 f'n dollars, if TD is desperate enough to pull off a scam that nets like 150-200 dollars, he needs the money more than I do.

[dirk4mvp]

I would, but I don't have paypal/feel like losing money. I'll just tell you all that if you want to win, pick Louisville.

[Thunder Dan]

11 people thus far. Still time if anyone wants to join

[Thunder Dan]

half hour to still join. Everyone is welcome even Rockets fans. Prize money is up to $120

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

TD, I really do plan on paying if you're wondering why I haven't, I'm just waiting for my debit card to come in the mail since my old one expired.

[Thunder Dan]

I figured you were waiting on your loan to come through

[Cry Havoc]

In.

[IronMexican]

I really hope I win this cause I need to buy some new Cortez's.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I figured you were waiting on your loan to come through

:lol

I'm in college so I probably shouldn't be gambling but you only get to live once.

[Thunder Dan]

:lol

I'm in college so I probably shouldn't be gambling but you only get to live once.

I basically funded my college drinking on gambling. I basically just took the Over in the Suns/Clippers series and the Dallas series in 2006 and that funded my drinking. That was back when you could get a payout online the next couple day



I'm about to make a poll to vote on payouts in the college sports forum, so go there and vote if you are in the pool

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Well I might be done early if Memphis keeps playing like this.

[Spursfan092120]

Hmm...wanna retract that statement. :)
