BMR Bracket Contest conversation

[tank28]

I finished my BMR bracket - the last of 17 brackets I played online and offline this season - with less than 30 seconds remaining.

So now that the rush is over and I can enjoy the games, let me run a short poll. Just for fun, answer these 4 questions:

1) How many brackets have you filled out last season, and this season?
2) Who are you rooting for the most? (add screenshot from BMR Bracket contest if you can)
3) Share a future bet for this tournament (if placed more than 48 hours ago, share the date when you took it)
4) Does UConn win the Region (yes/no)?

Sample entry:

1) 2023 - 5 brackets, 2024 - 17 brackets
2) Kentucky Wildcats!!!


3) Arizona wins +1300
4) No

Great thread, Tank28!

Wow! 17 brackets this yr? that's a lot. Is this the max bracket you submitted in your entire March Madness betting?

Good luck on Kentucky and good luck with the contest!

 

[BMR Genie]

I see 4 members pick Kentucky to win it all.

I was pretty good at fantasy before the pros came in and ruined in ;(

Brackets online and brackets with guys at the gym/at the office remind me of good old times. I live for the rush of winning $100 after two weeks of sweating 10 hours a day lol

1) How many brackets have you filled out last season, and this season?
ONE

2) Who are you rooting for the most? (add screenshot from BMR Bracket contest if you can)
ISU, HOUSTON, BAYLOR, CREIGHTON - and any Bgi12 team not already mentioned.

3) Share a future bet for this tournament (if placed more than 48 hours ago, share the date when you took it)
None - Don't like futures bets. Money tied up for more than a week makes me uneasy.

4) Does UConn win the Region (yes/no)?
Nope - ISU Wins that one.

SBR Manny is in 1st place in my annual bracket challenge. Landers won it last year. Manny is our for revenge and Gaucho Jake is sneaking in from behind!

Where was this bracket flyingillini and why weren't BMR posters invited?
Feeling left out.

Sorry Tankster, next year , I will invite you, I invited a few from here, I do contests throughout the the year for sports, some posters don't want to pay and not interested in trying to convince them...we got 10 this year with #1 $350, #2, $100, #3 $50.
Ese Manny is in the lead!!! I will make a huge run for the title once the Illini start to dominate

- Total of 5 brackets going if you count national contests, like the March Madness app - helped my mom with a couple brackets for work pools

- For the bracket, Marquette and North Carolina are in most of my championship games ...
personally, my favorite teams are in the West region - especially North Carolina and Arizona - two of my favorite cities are Chapel Hill and Tucson

- In a BMR thread a few weeks ago, I posted Marquette as a good futures pick at 25-to-1, really liking that pick now with Kentucky out

- UConn out early before the Final Four - could even lose in the 2nd round if Florida Atlantic advances and plays like they did when they beat Arizona in Las Vegas

3) Arizona wins +1300
4) No

So Kentucky got destroyed by Oakland... I don't think it's theoretically possible for me anymore to win this bracket, with 100+ players. Unless Oakland wins it all and I get a perfect run of results.

 

[tank28]

Really need Gonzaga bounced in this next game!!!

 

[tank28]

1. Zero last year, One this year
2. Arizona/Purdue
3. Purdue +550
4. Yes

Arizona played very close to the spread, both games! You're looking good wwurmeier

Oakland is over and out.
