Re: March Madness!
 

NCAA Championship starts tomorrow in earnest. Any gamblers partaking on events?

Odds from Skybet to win their regions and make the Final Four:

- Duke (11/4)
- Kansas (11/10)
- North Carolina (8/11)
- Pittsburgh (15/2)

$115 for your $1 stake.


I have Kansas (11/2) beating Pittsburgh (33/1) in the Final. Pitt might be worth an e/w bet.

Of the 1st round games, a few upsets may be:

South Alabama over Butler
Davidson over Gonzaga
Villanova over Clemson

I've got North Carolina going all the way. I don't have Kansas advancing too far since they are known to choke even when they've got talent. Who knows though given the success of their other program. They may have the luck again. Those upsets that you have listed are pretty good. The Villanova-Clemson match up is definitely one to watch. I can't wait to see the action go down tomorrow. I've got my Sling ready to go.:thumbup:

I have UCLA and Tennessee in the final. Then again, I only arrived 3 weeks ago, so I'm flying completely blind in my brackets this year!

Re: March Madness!
 

its just like the wimbledon tournament setup.

Many thanks uga for posting the explanation. I was actually going to post a question for you about it til i found this!

Re: March Madness!
 

My bracket is tanking at the mo.....oh well. Next year :D

You're welcome!

Re: March Madness!
 

2 out of 3 ain't bad! (Davidson & Villanova) :thumbsup:

Re: March Madness!
 

Damn Pitt... I had them going to the final four. That'll teach me to be loyal to the local team ;)

Thank god UCLA pulled out the win (although they looked crap) - that would have screwed my brackets up beyond repair haha!

Re: March Madness!
 

So much for Duke's chances. Let's Go Mountaineers..... what a game beating out Duke!!! Not sure what WVU can do in the next round though but we're cheering them on. :thumbsup:

Re: March Madness!
 

I'm not really bothered by it, but am impressed by how many of the big seeds crash and burned so quickly...some pretty big surprises going through...

Re: March Madness!
 

I can't get away from March Madness because I live and work in Durham, NC. There's intense rivalry between Tar Heels (UNC) and Blue Devils (Duke Univ.) fans. When I'm, people show their affiliation by wearing the appropriately colored apparel. Come to think of it, people dress like this year round.:rolleyes:
