Winner take all?
almost definitely...unless we get many more people than we expect
I'm in.
In.
put some real money in and i'm in
In. I'd be willing to go up to $25.
Not because I'm good at this, but because it will make it more interesting.
cant do it...there isnt enough time to collect the money in advance...thus its an honor system...and the more people owe the less honorable they become

Just like the blacks.
i would be in for at least $100,000.00 but $10 is cool.
all i know is that Gonzaga won't make it past the sweet sixteen, again.
gonzaga shouldn't even have won yesterday against loyola marymount. they are the first #2 to lose.

they should've lost the game before that too, they are an annual fraud of a NCAA tournament team.
For the same reason that Duke'll be gone by the sweet 16: worn out star player.
he sure did look ridiculous smashing himself in the head the other night. i'm assuming that's how he gets pumped up, but that violent twitching along with his pimp stache made him look like he was in the special olympics.
i signed my team up last night.

whose runnin this ish?
me bitch
i dont some sly white boy runnin the cash. but get me in on it, however the farg that is.
im not touching any cash...you send the money to the winner after its over
and if you want in you sign up yourself stupid
that means you gotta trust people to be honest and pay up after they lost with no reprecusions if they dont.
i personally know 95% of the league...and the 5% i dont are from CF and seem to be good peoples...but yes its run by an honor system...
I'm going to send the winner 40 checks of $0.25 each. Blammo!
I'm in, I guess. Nothing better to do.
In.
28 in
35 is the goal
get on it people
i have 3 big east teams in the final four
Pitt, Nova, UConn
National Champs? LSU.
g'twon? you homer.
matty does love himself some gtown
speaking of the final 4 matty im having a bunch of people over to watch the games and play cards if yous are down
Hell, I went homer for the Final 4, and I'm gonna mop up on you lunatics.
In. And be prepared to laugh yourself silly with my hideously low final score.
Anyone that scores less than me in a pool like this doesn't deserve sports in their life. Really. Go test drive tampons instead.

No, because you know no more than half of people will actually pay.
the only people that have any chance of not paying are the concrete heads and theres not that many of them
actually thinking about it it has to be winner take all as it would be a clusterfarg to get some people sending their money one way and others another
yeah, just let one lucky chick take all our money
I'm just happy the deadline to edit has passed. I know Jack shtein about NCAABB, but I have changed my bracket six times already. Happy to be locked in with my miserable picks.
good luck

In retrospect, if I'd done any research on this tournament, there is no way in hell I'd have picked Seton Hall.
did you get in the yahho johnson i set up ff?

Yeah, I was like the 5th team in.
who are you?
Tough one to figure out.
Yeah, almost as tough as your team.
so who else is 3-0
ma dooks has two pools and the little ho is 3-0 in both
I'm 2-1, but I got both Montana and 'Bama working it.
nice
bama is killin me
bama's up?
they are rollin
edit: marquette is making a mini run went from 16 to 8
F'ing UNC Wilmington pissed it away. I've lost the Marquette game too.
Oh, and Nevada. I picked Montana in my other two but not in this one for some stupid reason.
11-1 once Illinois gets finished.
i went 11-5 but still have all 16 of my sweet 16 teams left.
10-6 and Nevada was in my sweet 16. Awsum.
dont fret i lost a sweet sixteener as well
I won a pool a coupla years ago. Had neither final team right, but won when Cuse beat Kansas.
12-4 w/ all Sweet Sixteen's intact.
11-5 with Syracuse being gone other than that, i'm ok.
"Kill Yourselves" had Oklahoma going to the Final Four. Ouch.
Actually, he has them losing in the finals. Double ouch.

Unnecessary apostrophe alert!
btw
no one gives a shtein how you all did yesterday
you do, farghead
maybe a little
search your soul, you care, a lot
My correct call of the George Mason over MSU upset was the highlight of an otherwise non-stellar first round. I suppose 22/32 is not bad for a guy who knows basically nothing about college b-ball, but my other problem is that I'm already down to 13/16 Sweet 16 teams and 7/8 Elite 8 teams.
with pitt losing i have absolutely no chance of winning this thing
I was right that Pittsburgh would lose this game. I just thought it would be Kansass.
I can't see how anyone thought Bradley would have advanced this far, and if they did, they deserve all the points from it. They are playing the part of "Bracket Buster" this year. I wouldn't sweat the beating Pitt too much, because the huge majority probably picked Pitt.
Hmmm... I'm near the bottom of the group, and Phreak also has UCLA in the championship game.
I guess I'm done.
my lsu over duke pick vaulted me from 27th to 3rd
I'm glad Duke lost. I'm not glad I picked them to beat LSU and then lose to UCLA. Oh well.
Hopefully Washington knocks off UCONN tonight.
What's even worse is that I just checked, and Phreak has the exact same final four, the exact same championship game, and the exact same winner as I do... and like 17 more points than me as is.
Phreak, where do you want me to send my $10?
im pretty sure even if ucla wins it all phreak cant win
Yeah, but my point is that I am now officially eliminated from winning.
welcome to last thursday
I suck. But I called it in advance, so because of that I rule.
If Villanova continues to play like diarrhea then I'm done. I have to have them win tonight.
Villanova played barely well enough to win. BC choked on it after putting up the 25-9 lead.
Whew! Close call. I hope they come out better against Florida.
And f'ing UConn got even luckier, the bastiches. I wanted them to lose to make the path for Nova easier. Now I need GMU to continue the ride or have Nova knock 'em off.
I also would like to see LSU win tomorrow over Texas. Many of the people right behind me have UT.
And I need UCLA to beat Memphis.
i win the pool if:
florida beats nova
AND
connecticut plays (not beats) either texas or lsu in the final
go to the overall leaders and look at dude named tim mckenna's bracket.
unreal. 4/4 final four teams and 7/8 elite eight teams. he's either a mason grad or a psychic.
He's probably some dude who didn't know enough about college basketball to know that his picks were idiotic.
i believe hes the guy who picked mason thinking it was george washington
we need a math geek to figure out the actual odds of guessing the bracket correctly.

It all depends on how you want to handicap the games. Do you want to assume that the winner of each game is random, or do something based on the difference in seed?
how about we call it infintismal and stop the madness

i was thinking going off of what rjs said...a straight 50/50 guess on each game, with no prior knowledge of the teams. but maybe you have to assume some strength of #1-4 seeds in the 1st round or so.
QuoteMike Breen, a mathematician at the American Mathematical Society in Providence, R.I., said the chances of being one of the people who correctly picked the Final Four in ESPN.com's contest this year were about 1 in 750,000. Last year, he said, roughly 1 in 700 brackets included the correct four teams.
Based on this year's tourney, here are the numbers.
I assumed...
The % chance of a 1 or 2 seed winning in the first round was 85%.
The % chance of a 3 or 4 seed winning in the first round was 70%.
The % chance of a 5 or 6 seed winning in the first round was 55%.
The % chance of a 1 seed winning over the 8/9 seed in the second round was 60%.
The % chance of a 2 seed winning over the 7/10 seed in the second round was 55%.
Every matchup from the Sweet 16 on is a coin flip.
The odds of predicting the entire bracket correctly, all the way through the championship game are 24,985,698,160,000,000 to 1, or a 0.000000000000004002289604% shot.
Nerd.

"Never tell me the odds!"
It's down to Phreak (if Florida wins) vs. TiconderogaSentinels (if UCLA wins)
Go Florida and that ugly sumbitch Noah!
I've won my other two pools...now I just need FLA to hook me up.
I win.
Do I post my address on the Yahoo site, IGY?
Phreak... you decide...
Do you want your money in Preperation H coupons, 40 $0.25 checks, or a nice crispy $10 bill*?
*which I will have wiped my ass with
P.S. I can't believe my crappy bracket was in the 94th percentile overall.
Phreak, I think you need to post it on the Yahoo site. I believe he's got his extended family playing, most of whom don't post here.
I'm actually kind of glad I didn't win... because I don't want to give all you fruits my address.

12-pack of beer. Is that an option?
A crispy 10 spot without the feces would be just fine. I don't have roids so the prep-H wouldn't help.

What's the O/U for actual amount of money Phreak has received so far... $40?
How about how much he'll actually receive... $100?
he lives close to me, so i'm paying him off in beers

Phreak wants Natty Ice. He told me so.
phreak is keeping a list for me to track down the deadbeats but i know for a fact hes gotten well over a 100 so far
Mine will go out today....leaving this shteinhole early only to do that.
Thanks, PM & DC
Yeah, I have gotten quite a bit so far. 23 people have paid up/settled the bet. Actually, 25 now counting Phatty & DC
IGY, do you know Timone's screen name in the pool? I got a PayPal from her today and it had her Timone name with some numbers next to it but she isn't listed as that name on the site.
i do not
timone was probably eating a cupcake or some bon-bons and messed up. excuse her fatness.
