Anyone Interested?

Typically what I like to do is have everyone throw in $10 or so, and donate 25% of the pot to this site for admin fees etc. (I still have the money from last year in my paypal - ready to donate) winner gets the rest.

Last year, I think Senioritus took home $75 big ones.

I already have a group on ESPN, I just need to renew it if there is enough interest.

What say ye? Will SU put his money where his mouth is on the Gonzaga pick to win it all?

Let me know, and I'll get it set up.

An interesting chart I found. I was surprised by how few times several of the seed combinations have played each other. eg: 4 seed vs 4 seed

Based on the percentages on that page, if you go all chalk, you have a .34% chance of getting a perfect bracket.

Found a typo in my calculations.. updated the %

I'd be happy to donate $10 to someone better or luckier than me.

So far, I think we have 3 or 4 interested...I know we have more basketball savants here.

PM me your email addresses and I'll invite you to the group on ESPN...whatever $ comes from that, the winner will get.
