  • Sex And Chocolate!

    I'm a huge sports fan. I also love to gamble. So one might think when it comes to the NCAA basketball tournament, it might be like a wet dream for me. Well, that is not the case. I've never been into college sports. I've always been a big fan of the pro games, as the quality of play is that much better. In the past though, I have always had a casual interest in the tournament, and every year I would say that one of these years I would participate in a bracket for the tournament, after all, it is a combination of two of my favorite things: gambling and sports. Hell, its kinda like sex and chocolate; it doesn't get much better.  So this year, I finally did it. Now I should stress that I don't know much about college basketball. I do know there are some hot players out there, which certainly makes it fun to watch. I've always found Jon Schyeyer of Duke to be smokin' hot! And he is a local kid, at least for me, he is from suburban Chicago.

    I've always thought picking the games is a crapshoot. Its kinda like pickin' horses or NFL games, anything can happen and anything usually does happen. I'd like to think I know a decent amount about football, but I still struggle to pick games. And I know more about baseball than just about any other subject and I still can't pick winners in the post season. So I just kinda winged it, trying to pick a few upsets along the way. My Final Four has Kansas, Xavier, New Mexico and Baylor. And odd final four to say the least. In the championship, I've got New Mexico beating Kansas.

    So how am I doing so far? Better than I expected. Of the 12 games played so far, I have won 8 of them. Not bad. If I want to win though, I have to do much better than that. The first round is 2 points per game, it goes up by 2 points for each round thereafter except for the championship game which is 15 points. Which means that thus far, there have been a total of 24 points for me to get and I have 16.

  • I can't believe out of all the teams beating KU, you picked New Mexico?!?!  Kansas is my alma mater....damn you!!  Just kidding.  My bracket is all screwed up because of Vanderbilt and Georgetown.  I love college basketball.

  • My bracket won 11 games yesterday, but I'm moderately screwed since Georgetown lost. I had them going to the Final Four. Don't hate -- I know nothing about NCAA basketball! I picked based on what I've heard throughout the years slash which schools sounded better.

  • I wound up winning 12 games yesterday!!! If you hear a crash and burn its because today I have come back down to earth, so far I'm 4-4. I don't know much about NCAA basketball either, but it certainly is fun to play the brackets, ain't it? All of my final 4 teams are still alive.

  • Lol. I didn't know you went there..............then again, I probably still wouldn't have picked them! :)

    Yeah, the G-Town loss hurt me too, but I picked Murray State to beat Vandy, so that was good. I wound up winning 12 games yesterday! And all of my final 4 teams survived
