There's nearly 50 of us in the group, not sure of the payout, but winner gets 60%, second gets 30%, third and last place get 5% each. I don't watch roundball(but I guess I will this year), so my bracket was a complete shot in the dark, and I'm retarded, and don't know how to get a picture, so I'm just gonna list my picks.

West bracket:

Gonzaga over play in Missouri over Gonzaga Virginia over Missouri Virginia over Kansad
Missouri over Oklahoma Virginia over Creighton Kansas over Iowa
Creighton over UCSB Kansas over USC
Virginia over Ohio Iowa over Oregon
USC over play in
Kansas over Eastern Washington
Oregon over VCU
Iowa over Grand Canyon

East bracket:

LSU over St Bona Florida St over Georgetown Texas over Uconn

Illinois over Baylor

Champion:

Florida State over Illinois

124 total points for tiebreaker

Do I have a chance in hell or should I be hoping for the last place payout?
 
The less you know about college basketball, the better your chances are
 
The format I typed that in didn't translate to the post, that's a jumbled mess and too late to edit.

I had it all spaced out and neat, I swear

Leonard Hamilton coaches FSU, which means there's a zero percent chance that they win a natty. I wouldn't be shocked to see if UNCG knocks them out in the first round

also, i think Georgia Tech loses in the 1st round, b/c they will be without their best player

So, hope for last place money?

yes, because Virginia isn't making the FF either

and uh, there's a 0% chance Missouri beats Gonzaga

Gonzaga has been head and shoulders above everyone else in CBB this season.

At least it's only 20 bucks down the drain.

ncaa tournament is still fun even if your bracket sucks

The fact that I have to have money on the line to watch any of the games says a lot about my interest in roundball. Which, I'm working 6 days a week at the moment, so I guess I don't have anything better to do tomorrow night, so I'll flip back and forth between games and the truck race where it seems my odds of getting a payday are much higher.

you may have a gambling problem, bro

I cleaned up betting NASCAR last season. You pick one winner at Talladega and it makes up for whole lot of misses. Betting Justin Haley in all the plate Busch races last year alone made it a profitable season, then cheesing it and betting Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin at all non plate/road course tracks paid off too.

I just bet Johnny Sauter on every truck race. He's a former champ in top equipment, but is past his prime, but he has long enough odds, that if he does win one, it'll pay off nicely.

nah, $20 to get his interest in a multi-week event is pretty low stakes gambling.

wake me up when you're betting on bundsliga 2 games to get through your work day.

i don't even think gambling could get me into nascar, did a fantasy league for a year or two because friends were into it. such a boring sport. i get going to it to party in the infield, but when you can lose every week by being involved in a wreck that's unavoidable... meh. also watching cars just make left turns (or right, who the fuck even knows, no one really watches, right?) for hours is pretty fucking boring too.

It’s not for everyone. I also enjoy F1 and pretty well all forms of racing other than drag. Grew up around dirt tracks.

never got into F1 because it was never really televised, but it looks pretty cool. my brothers friend raced in something back in the day. funny looking cars (not funny racing). he was one of the tops in the sport. think a few high level nascar people started out from there, but he quit for one reason or the other, think it was a situation where his dad was putting it on him more than anything else.

HSV has lost me some money this year. True story
 
One of your final four teams just died, so it's not looking good.

Virginia definitely didn’t make the FF.

Good call.
 
I’m screwed either way. Some jackass made his bracket trying for last place money, and he’s got that locked up. But the good thing is, I don’t have to bother keeping up with roundball anymore
