Not sure I have the connections to get 100 people to play so will need some help. But make sure you can vouch for them.

Got about 30 filled in the first few hours but would like this to fill up sooner rather than later. Do it suckas.
i have my 69 (lol) my where is my 42
oh i thought you were switching. got it.
is what i said cool? otherwise ill just do 1
In. Email sent.
unfortunately looking at it this morning there is no chance this fills out in the next 48 hours
i haven't even been to my office yet, i work with a bunch of degenerates. but it'll still be close.
history shows that you get 80% of entries in the first 24 hours....but i was assuming your work people had already seen it
definitely rooting for it but the late start time might be to much to overcome
So, uh, is CF doing a bracket?

humming along
not bad for a day's work...it was actually kinda fun wheelin and dealin to get people to pay. got a few security guards from the building, pressured a few secretaries into it.
thought we'd get a few more people from here. gay.
i never even made it to one of our floors today so should be able to finish it up tomorrow, but keep referring people if you can. i'm hitting a train to AC at noon and prefer to be done by then.
the first day always flows in...you normally need to hit at an 80% clip (we got 73%)....the last 20% is what is almost impossible to do in a window as small this...id be shocked if we can get 27% in the next day and a half
nah there were at least a dozen people in my office that i know would play and weren't around today. i'll work it in the morning.
oh sweet

doesnt sound like theres no doubt if we all are supposed to still be trying to find people and he was banking on more people from CF
and that it might not be filled today
if you hit tomorrow morning without it filled then theres no way you can say it was never in doubt
btw matty has anyone from the email i sent out gotten in other than funk
got four more.....

If I weren't buying a house in two weeks, I'd buy the rest of the squares just to stop the countdown.
no shtein, stop being a woman.

If it helps... if you find yourself down to one or two spots and you're about to head off to AC, just put me in there. I don't necessarly want them, but you've done enough running around.

oh nice
i canceled trip to AC...its 85 degrees in DC and the first perfect outdoor happy hour day.

You are welcome.
Nice work Matt.
This will be me for roughly half the games. (http://www.hark.com/clips/qgbdwvycxs-run-out-the-clock)
I just had my first NCAA boner.
Thanks Matty.
I can't wait for the first game where there is 1 second left, home team up 73-67 having just made 1st of 2 foul shots.
it's my favorite but also the most frustrating pool of the entire year.
This shtein was literally never in doubt.
once i started passing the grids out i had at least 8-9 more people who wanted in. fargers. i also may get fired if it gets around too much.

actually i just went through and oates got 2 (in fact i already somehow got a check from him, dude is on point) and yo moms got one. my moms in it too.
ok, how do you figure out who's considered to be the home team?
Higher seed, dummy.
Thanks. I guess I'm that farging lazy...and I play in a basketball league myself. I didn't even want to use my brain.
farg.
in hindsight it would have made more sense to just put high seed and low seed instead of home and away, but whatever.
i also got 3 separate emails from people yesterday thinking they got screwed because they had two identical numbers and games can't end in a tie.
also, i could have filled in another 30-40 squares this morning between word of mouth in the office and last minute emails.
lol...I thought the same 'tie' thing for a second....now I'm pulling for 10 to 20 point wins. :=)

I am giving you the finger right now, Rusty.
With or without lube?
first round payout email sent...bunch of people on here won...me, havas, todd all with one, paco and rusty 3 each.
havas' mom 2, my mom 0.
sunmo = 0
:(
Same here.
A big fat zero.
ill take the 20 spot but the real fun doesnt start until next weekend...then really the final 4/title game
I'm just gonna stop farging watching...damn you Ohio St/Gonzaga! :boom
first round is chump change...real money starts soon. rusty won 4 games and is still in the hole.
the one girl that won is a 22 year old tiny asian girl that i basically forced into it. if she wins i may get a bj out of it.
In that case, if its not in the cards for me to win, I will be rooting for the tiny Asian chick.
I probably read Matts post a dozen times, and I still read "a 22 year old tiny asian girl that I basically forced it into"

Now it does.
Hahaha, I hit another one and now I'm in the black. Suckers.
I know. FF sent me a congratulation txt and got my hopes up. ass.
More games and more no wins for me.
Matty just won the Lehigh game
I'm winning the final. I already decided.
...and I pray! :evil
Thank you to Louisville/MSU.
$5 in the black. Early retirement!
Paco, are you mike?
Todd...phreak...have u guys won yet?
Yeah. Was lazy and asked Matt for the first 4 squares.
i won the awareness that hbionic sucks
and $20
Even though UNC lost to Kansas I won the square...my numbers are 7 & 0 and the score was 67-80.
$85.
$35 profit.
[rjs]I hate you all[/rjs]
here is how much i have won so far
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V3CfD8TPac
I'm still $5 in the hole. My family's gotta eat, people!
wait so who is the "top seed" in the osu/kansas game. they are both 2's
Looking at ESPN, it looks like Ohio St is "away" and Kansas is "home".
i was so close to hitting in the last game
farging bill self fouling in that spot...if he lets it play out osu doesnt hit a 3 and i win with 4 and 1. and that god damn turnover before it. funhole. flag. dick. jew.
you're pretty much the only deadbeat in the entire pool who hasn't paid anyway...
i won the last game...my plan to sucker all of you out of money is unfolding perfectly.
Louisville got a 3 in when they realized I was going to win that square.

sike.
havas' mom won.
i did not get shtein.
I'm still going to win tonight. For my only win. It has to. I had a dream that I won today and it ended with the last numbers being 7.
I guess my dreams are half ass.
Congratulations John P. Is that Sunny?
I didn't win a damn thing...but it was the first tournament where I watched most games.
Maybe next season I can donate more money.
I missed it by one farging point.
65 games, no wins
checks will be in the mail tomorrow and i'm halfway through paypal payments.
i believe hbionic was the biggest loser. no one else who bought 4 went winless.
congrats buddy next beer is on me.
lol
big winners:
1. some dude i went to HS with who i haven't seen in 10 years but joined from a FB post i made (won one square but it was the final)
2. havas' momma
3. a fat girl in DC i bone when i run out of options
4. paco
i'm setting up a winners dinner for that group soon.
ma dooks hollain all up in your FACES
oh yeah by the way in her initial email she told me your middle name. your secret is safe with me.
penny lane baby
Winners get a dinner....loser (me) gets a beer from matty?
Take that :flipoff winners! HAHAHAHA!
Seriously though. :'(

That looks all professional and shtein. Just about every pool I've ever been involved with was ghetto as farg...like the squares graph would be drawn in sharpie on a big piece of cardboard from a tv box or something. And it wasn't even a proportionate graph. Lazy bastiches would try to free hand that shtein. One time we tried using an old white board but someone in the pool figured out rather quickly how easy it was to put his name in the winning squares when no one's looking. So we went back to scrap pieces of cardboard.
I'm not participating in this, just wanted to share my stupid story. Carry on.
not only does matty run it but I forwarded it to you

Yeah, I saw the email. I haven't done pools/squares/brackets in years....probably like a decade. I fill out 1 bracket before the tourney for fun and I play fantasy fooseball. That's pretty much the extent of my involvement other than watching.
what the farg are you on
Life, son.
Anyone who doesn't do the march madness squares pool is missing their penis. Science fact.
im trying to get a few people in
its my favorite pool of the year. so much fun. farg brackets.

No one cares.
only about 10 left.
locked up third in the brackets which will pay for mattys box pool where I had four boxes and didn't win a single game
i was 1 north carolina free throw from hitting
the world hates me
Digging through some random box tonight and found over $250 of checks that I didn't cash from running this pool. They were all from 2012. I must have been very farged up to never even know. May try to cash them anyway. At least one person is from here.
If that person is me...I may have to PayPal you instead.
nah i'm not really cashing anything. will just chalk it up to being a drunk idiot.
Just sent out email for this year's pool. If for some reason you didn't get it and want to play just hit me up.
shot you a pm matty
about 5 squares left. got 80 or so within a day and then not much since.

Just sent out email for this year's squares pool. If you didn't get it and want to play let me know.
im literally insulted i didnt get it...this is the best pool ever
weird i just used last year's list and didn't check who was on it. how many do you want?
you never leave a jew off a list
2
Is this happening this year?
It is. did you not get an email? i sent it to everyone who played last year, maybe you didn't.
regardless there are like 12 spots left, text or email me with how many you want.
Ok cool
I'll email ya. Yeah I didn't get the email
email for march madness pool just went out. I think my list got effed up so if you want in let me know, same rules as always $25/square.
My gut says it'll fill up fast because it's been so long but I have no idea. Got quite a few returned emails from people who I assume have lost their jobs since last year.
damn that's terrible
I switched jobs during the pandemic so it might not be the case but I've never gotten so many email bounce backs.
filled up 75% in like 2-3 days but looks to have stopped. if you know anyone else who wants in, share that email.
Another degenerate acquaintance of mine is doing a squares pool for the super bowl. Every score pays out, not just the end of quarters. Apparently he already filled up one for 10,000 bucks so I'll be impressed if he fills up another, but I'm gonna get a box or two. Info below, hit me up if you want in and I'll shoot you his contact info.
QuoteCheck it out...this format is your traditional football pool grid, 100 boxes but with a great payout system where "Every Score Change Pays" $500 and up to 20 total scores. If there's less scoring than 20, the last person who won keeps the balance of the money. It's $100 / box and you can buy as many as you like, a great chance at multiple wins for each person, especially if you're buying more than one box. After a touchdown, 6-0 pays $500; a one point conversion, 7-0 pays $500 and so on! Last year there were 12 total score changes and the last winner ended up winning the $4,000 balance (8 X $500)! Just to be clear, the house keeps nothing, all dollars go to the winners as it should. 100 boxes at $100 / box = $10,000; winners get $500 / score change and up to 20 scores, 20 X $500 = $10,000. Anything less than 20, last person wins the balance.
Once you tell me how many boxes you want I just start filling in the grid placing them randomly and spreading out the names. Once the grid is full, I have a random person not playing in the pool pull out numbers from a hat that are all crumpled up. Once you pay for your box, I'll text or email you the grid showing your boxes so you can follow during the game.
I've been running a Super Bowl Pool for around 15 years but just adapted this new payout system last year; now it's spreading like wildfire and everyone wants in. I sold out this year's pool last February and I've already sold 70 boxes for 2023! Since we have our group, I thought it might be great to start a new grid and if we can fill it, we'll have it this year; worse case, we can roll into 2023 if we're unable to fill it by February. Let anyone and everyone you know about this since it's open. If we're able to fill it this year, all boxes will need to be paid no later than Jan. 31; gives me time to organize all payouts.
I'll jump in.
Invite to squares pool sent this morning. A little late this year. If you didn't get it and want in, let me know.
Email title said 9th annual but shtein according to this thread it's 11th annual.

Not sure how square pools work but send me an invite (same as my fantasy bball) and I'll check it out.
Just shot you an email - just like super bowl squares if you ever played them. Except your numbers are good for all 63 games. Filled up fast as shtein this year but there about 4 or 5 left.
Didn't get it, checked spam/junk too. It's my yahoo address. If that doesn't work same address but @hotmail.com
there are only 5 out of 42 people who have not hit a square. 3 of those are me, my wife, and Todd.
I'm done running this garbage lol.
