I created a thread a few days back asking what you guys do for the tournament and how much you put in. Well, I started with $100 last year and got up to $2500. Im starting with $400(right now I have almost $500 as I made some $$$ today...)

This may be my Weekend Parlay. Call me dumb, call me whatever, but I think this will be a nice start to the tourney....I may take Mich. St. out though...

About $1.15 to $1. $490 would win $550 I believe...

They're all MLs... wouldn't be hard, I wouldn't think... Might follow but it'd be an entertainment parlay as I wouldn't actually put much on it.

MISFITS-ok, lets see your picks. And lets both start out with the same amount and see who has more at the end of the tourney. Deal?

Pitt is more likely to get beat than Michigan State.

It is a ballsy ticket.  Exorbitant money line favorites + Parlay = Mentally unstable person.  And as buckubad meant to say, YOU'RE dumb.

I like the majority of plays, but no way I would do a 13 teamer parlay...it's hard enough to hit a 3 teamer.  BOL in whatever you do.

Come on man, tuff to play at Stony Brook?  What about playing at the Kohl Center, or some of the other Big Ten venues that Ill. had to go to this year.  They got the win at Wisconson shouldn't have a problem here.  BOL

It's a tiny gym, 1700 capacity I believe, and it will be rocking tonight like no other night.  The Kohl center might be tough to play in, but it's definitely harder to play in a completely different environment than you're used to, against a team that will be playing it's biggest game of the season.  That being said, Stony Brook is not as good as the Badgers...
