I never understood why people running the event take a cut. I don't do those pools, ever.

My friends that host this one set up a bracket via e-mail and have to check the closing lines etc. so I don't have a problem with it.$350 may be a little much but wth at least someone is willing to do it.

That's the one great thing about this game if Kentucky is a 20 point favorite and they win by say 19,the underdog takes ownership.

I can email you the spreadsheet from 2013 if you want it. It was a lot smaller then, but we use the same format.

So to be clear, this is random, luck of the draw and you wouldn't have to know much about NCAA BB to have an equal chance as someone who watched 100 games this season?
