Re: College Hoops
The year I won my huge bracket pool ($10 buyin, $2400 win), I had all 1 seeds going to the Final Four, and I won thanks to the heroics of Mario Chalmers and the Kansas squad. I think winning that year has affected how I play brackets now, because I tend to get very conservative.

Re: College Hoops
Generally if you just pick high seeds in your pool you'll do really well but probably finish outside the money. Picking crazy brackets will backfire unless you've watched a billion hours of basketball.shafnutz05 wrote:The year I won my huge bracket pool ($10 buyin, $2400 win), I had all 1 seeds going to the Final Four, and I won thanks to the heroics of Mario Chalmers and the Kansas squad.

Got news for ya -- I watch a billion hours of basketball and with the exception of 2009, it hasn't done me a lick of good at this time of the year. I am kicking myself today because the reason for my big score in 2009 was picking Michigan State to the championship game. Since then, I've had a nearly blind faith toward Izzo in the month of March and it has often bit me. This year, I decided to go against them because of their poor free throw ability late in games. I wish I hadn't overanalyzed it. As a result, my top right quadrant of my bracket is full of black X's. It's all a crapshoot, really, and the matchups you hope to happen don't usually occur and then that totally changes how your original pick works out. Right now, I'm still banking on the 3 remaining 1's to get themselves to Indy.

Re: College Hoops
It was funny that they thought they had a chance. That was an old fashioned spanking. But with multiple NBA draft picks/future starters on the roster at UK, it wasn't a matter of if they won, it was how many they would win by. In this case, by more than some in WV can count to.
