I hate doing bracket pools in years like this

[8893]

Years like this pit two of my bedrock principles against each other: Never pick against UConn; and don't do more than one set of bracket picks.

What do you guys do? I'll probably end up doing two entries, one with UConn winning and then one other one, but I hate doing that because then I start second-guessing all the other picks and end up with two entirely different sets of picks, leaving me with mixed rooting interests throughout the tourney, unless/until one set of picks becomes a clear loser.

Yikes

Im ashamed and embarassed

One bracket, ONE

with the Huskies winning it all.

And the thing is. If you employed that strategy for the last 17 years you would be way ahead in money winnings.

Pick UConn to win it all. Rest of the bracket? Work macro to micro. Figure out who you think will go far and pencil in those teams. Don't bother worrying about every first round game. There's lots of noise in the first two rounds.

and it doesnt mean you cant fill out multiples for different pools.

Fill out 100, just the same way

Shut up and eat the mojo sandwich, commie!

I always do 1 bracket. Uconn won me a lot of money in 2011 and 2014, but I really believed they were good enough to win it all. This year I am having a hard time believing that.

I could have written that. That's exactly how I am. It always ends up biting me somehow.

 

[CL82]

Disagree. I've done very well writing UConn into the top slot in multiple pools.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

This is literally the case with me and I've only employed it since 2011... won over $2,500 from pools and I've barely cracked spending $100.

Dude stop thinking about yourself first. Don't duck with the Mojo. One bracket. UCONN winner.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

I have one strategy this year: pick UConn to win (as I have in the past) in one bracket on ESPN, and then copy that bracket to CBS, FOX, Yahoo, etc. Go big or go home.
