OT: The Big NCAA Pool is back...

[Nuzzi]

Hello All,

I set up the "Big" NCAA pool again this year if you are interested. This is not a bracket pool, but a 10x10 with a chance to win something in every game of the tournament. Check it out: NCAA Pool.

Registered! Hoping to avoid the 7, 7 box i got last year

 

[Nuzzi]

Only 4 squares to go!

 

[jjhoops54]

Any squares left?

 

[Nuzzi]

Sorry, just filled up yesterday.

 

[UofCT]

Did you pull numbers yet?

 

[Nuzzi]

@jjhoops54, a square just opened up. But it is open on the site. If you are still interested get there quickly.

 

[Nuzzi]

@UofCT2009, no, not yet. I will wait until all the money is in.

When are you starting pool #2?

When are you starting pool #2?

. I think one is enough for this type of pool.

For clarification since a couple of people have asked, the play-in games are not part of the payouts.

I am not a math guy but unlike football scores, does it really make a difference what numbers you get?

I got 8 lower seed and 3 higher seed. I don't have a clue why these numbers would be worse than any other combos.

 

[Nuzzi]

The only real difference is if you get like numbers. Because games cannot end in a tie, you have have fewer chances to win. And, checking out Tom's link, the stats show that. Of course, the big winners in the SB pools this year won on 3-3, so...

Good point.

I was the lucky duck who had a final score of 3-0 and lost $1250 on that last field goal.

Thanks Tom. Yeah, the main web page has all of the links and info: NCAA Pool.

I just updated everything from yesterday.

Got to say it made the end of games in the blowouts more fun. The closest I came was needing Nevada to hit the garbage 3 at the end.

It has me doing math at the end of games. Trying to will the correct scoring.
