Poker Fraud Alert March Madness Bracket Contest ($10 entry)

[simpdog]

CBS is a little janky but it gets the job done.

Todd, I sent you $10 more on behalf of OSA. Paypal found out he was impersonating military officers and suspended his account

Likely not all he was doing with it lol

If anyone is interested in a $100 bracket get at me via PM. Have been running this one for years and have about 10 runners so far and I am expecting about 20

[PLOL]

Brackets have been submitted by the following:
Gutzor
JimmyG
m g (OSA)
Myself (x2)
Simpdog
Sean (shizzmoney)


Right now prize pool is $70 and it's winner take all. Just over 12 hours to get picks in if you're looking to do this. Once games start you'll be able to see everybody's brackets

Druff, please verify if anybody has failed to pay. Ty

2 entries received from Tradershky (David).

I also see an entry from a Dan L. Not sure who this is yet.

Prize pool now at $100 with top 2 being paid

[PLOL]

Alright total of 10 entries. Payouts will be:
1st: $70
2nd: $30

So far CBS is shitting the bed. An hour before tip-off the site went down and you couldn't update brackets. Now there's games that are finished but they don't have them scored. Hopefully they'll fix it ASAP.

People predicted the following champions:
UCLA (2)
Villanova (2)
Gonzaga (2)
Duke (2)
North Carolina (1)
Arizona (1)

Edit: CBS updated now

Round 1 is in the books. I somehow managed to go a perfect 16-0 in one of my brackets. Too bad Buffet didn't do his bracket challenge this year or I'd be on the phone with him discussing a buyout. More importantly I have a perfect bracket in my $300 pool with $10k up top. Unfortunately I have a history of starting off hot and then fizzling.

Here are the tallies:
PLOL - 16
PLOL 2 - 14
Shizzmoney - 14
Tradershky - 13
Tradershky2 - 13
Gutzor - 13
JimmyG_415 - 13
Simpdog - 13
Dan L (?) - 11
OSA - 11 (bringing up the rear, so to speak)

See ya tomorrow

Can I get a refund? I shipped my money and made my picks but didn't even make your update?

Was it Americans only?

Crap, sorry about that Simp. The melatonin was kicking in

[PLOL]

Alright, the first round is in the books. For the next round each win is worth 2 points. Here's the standings going into the second round:
1. PLOL - 29 points
2. Traderhsky2 - 27 points
2. Shizzmoney - 27 points
4. David - 26 points
4. Gutzor - 26 points
4 JimmyG - 26 points
4. PLOL2 - 26 points
4. Simpdog - 26 points
9. OSA - 23 points
10 Dan - 20 points

Pretty crowded still with a 5 way tie for fourth

[simpdog]

I was an EZ mark.

Jimmy G in first is the only contestant in with a shot at nailing the final 2 (Gonzaga/UNC).

[PLOL]

Funnily enough I had a dream about this bracket contest last night. Somebody hacked into CBS and changed their picks so that they were leading. We confiscated their $10 as a punishment.

It looks like JimmyG and I are tied for first right now and nobody else has a shot to get into the top 2. If North Carolina beats Oregon, JimmyG will win. If Oregon wins then we'll be tied and we'll go to the tie breaker (total points in final game). If the Championship game has over 146 points, JimmyG wins. Under 146 and I win. If it's exactly 146 points, then I have no idea. I'm guessing there's a second tie-breaker

[PLOL]

Sorry, forgot to wrap this up. Congrats to JimmyG for winning the bracket contest and $70. I placed 2nd for $30.

Druff, if you can please pay out accordingly. Thank you
