Never shared this here before but seeing that some of of us are degenerate gamblers here's a game some friends of mine host each year if you're possibly interested in starting one.

64 owners @ $100 per entry

Put all team names in a cap,bowl etc. for drawing and all owners names in another,yes someone will get the play-in-games but announce as such as drawing should take place the Monday before the tourney and contest starts on Thursday.Draw one owner name and then one team.

Contest is based on point spread,they use the closing line on scoresandodds.com.If say

is favored by 7 that owner must cover (win by 8 or more) to move on.A push (exactly 7 or not covering) means the owner of the underdog now owns

and moves on.An outright upset of course and the underdog moves on as well.

Payouts are as follows

1st=$2500

2nd=$1000

3-4=$575

5-8=$250

9-16=$50

17-64=thanks for playing.

Based on this formula there will be $350 left that goes to the person running the event.

Those odds and payouts kinda suck tbh.

Why would you pay 100 to be assigned to a random team?

Correct and by adding the point spread it gives underdogs a good shot at taking over a favorite.
