    i doubt you are 507 in the world with 4 wrong. Not trying to be an a$$ but i have 5 wrong and am ranked 92814 in the yahoo pool. Are you sure you are not 507 in your "fans of group"? I am ranked 1182 in the fans of UNC group.

    doesn't the whole world only have 4 or 5 wrong? not like there has been many upsets, and people pound faves in those brackets...

    There is a pool going on at my work with 73 people and there are two brackets who only picked one wrong through the first round.

    wow, I guess some people went out on a limb and didnt just write down every higher seed and go 27-5 in rd 1. crazy.

    My daughter was 29 and 3 for the first round. She missed on Va. Commonwealth and Winthrop's upsets and thought
    Long Beach St would pull an upset.

    So far nothing shocking. You've got every 1 and 2 seed in the elite 8 except Memphis replaced by the best #3 seed... lots of brackets look like that. Wisky over Florida might separate you from the pack, however.

    So far it looks like the fewer upsets picked, the better. So far there have been no shockers and only a couple of mild upsets.

    This is why I always stuck with fantasy sports as my prime source of gambling...knowledge and strategy play a big role in how well you do.

    NCAA tourny brackets is the best dart throwing example in the world...people that have no clue do just as well as any expert. It is nearly all luck. I always felt it was like throwing your money into the wind. I may have well just come up to some guy on the corner and bet him $1,000 on a coin flip.

    Most office pools in any sport would fall into that same category, too, but that thrilling sense of uncertainity is part of what makes it so popular for gamblers in the first place. After all, to use your example, even the coin flip before the Super Bowl is highly wagered on. There is no rationale or logic to long-term gambling on sporting events. As stevek will attest to, all players are grinded out by the house over the long term. At least in the case of office pools, though, everyone (theoretically, at least) has a fair shake at coming out ahead.
