Stanford 77
Cornell 53

Woot.

PShabi 03-21-08 03:12 AM

Tell us more about this. How many players? How much did it cost? Never seen one like this.

Talking Poker 03-21-08 12:43 PM

It's a 10x10 grid, like the Super Bowl squares everyone plays. $165 per square (I think the guy running it keeps $15, cause the prizepool only adds up to $15,000).

PShabi 03-21-08 01:27 PM

Wow $15/square juice. Smart dude.

Talking Poker 03-21-08 02:06 PM

Meh, 10%. And he runs the risk of getting busted. Pretty standard in the gambling world...

Talking Poker 03-22-08 11:32 AM

Memphis 87
Texas-Arlington 63

My bracket sucks, so at least I have randomness to root for.

omahilo 03-22-08 11:56 AM

300 bucks so far isnt bad... how many squares you got? 2?

Talking Poker 03-22-08 02:12 PM

Yeah, so still down $30. But lots of games left to go for the big money!

omahilo 03-23-08 08:27 AM

hit any today? down 30 isnt bad after the 1st round... I would take my chances with the rest of the rounds.

Talking Poker 03-23-08 11:28 AM

The Duke game ended in a 7-3 score, but freaking Duke lost with the 7, so that's no good (it's 3-7). Have missed a number of games by 1 point.

Talking Poker 03-23-08 06:03 PM

Villanova 84
Siena 72

Boom!

I see I just missed a few more games today too, but I'm not greedy. Freeeeeeeeee-rooooooooooool!!!

melioris 03-23-08 09:16 PM

11/16 left for me. I am liking my chances in this thing. And if NC goes down next weekend like I predict, I got the thing just about wrapped up.

BTW I picked Siena in their first round upset.

Talking Poker 03-23-08 09:22 PM

BTW - congrats on your 2000th post. :cheers::thumbsup::cheers:

PShabi 03-24-08 08:56 PM

Dude, hahahahahahahahahahahaha, dude. You've got WSU beating UNC and Louisville beating Tenn? Then WSU to the final four? Dude.

UNC is going to destroy WSU. They're going to win the tournament. Your east bracket is wacky, imo. FWIW, I still think you're cool. :D:cheers:

MAYHEM45 03-24-08 09:51 PM

I pretty much shit the bed on this.

PShabi 03-24-08 09:55 PM

Remember that time you played 5k hands of 5/10 LHE???

Talking Poker 03-24-08 10:17 PM

haaaaaaaaahahahahaha!

God... worst prop bet EVER.

melioris 03-25-08 10:11 AM

I read this post last night and again this morning. It might be the funniest thing I have read on tp.com in a while. Genius.

Kurn 03-25-08 11:46 AM

Meh
 
I'm tied for 1st right now and IMO, I am a mortal lock to finish last. :mad:

PShabi 03-27-08 11:51 PM

You're a cool cat, Mel. I mean that.

Told you WSU had no chance. :D

melioris 03-28-08 11:48 AM

I got lots of love for you Shabi, one of these days I will make it to Vegas and we can get properly introduced. Yeah, WSU totally pussed out on me, but I had to stand by the pac-10.

BTW, I got turned onto Brother Ali recently. The guy is albino, growing up in Minneapolis, and is fantastic.

Talking Poker 04-05-08 08:18 PM

Stupid last minute Memphis THREE point shot. God forbis his foot cross the line, right?

Memphis 78
UCLA 63

PShabi 04-05-08 08:18 PM

Ship it.

Memphis beating UCLA just guaranteed the victory for me. Don't even have to sweat the rest of it. Fucking rad bro.:cheers:

melioris 04-07-08 08:15 AM

gg Shabi, by one point. Although I did pick more games than you. Not a bad showing considering I haven't seen fuck-all of NCAA BB this year.
