March Madness

Post by kratomandmath »

Not sure if any of you follow college basketball. The NCAA tourney starts in 4 days. Was going to see if any of y'all would want to do a pool? I can create the group in ESPN tournament challenge. Will discuss more details if anyone's interested. I'm not sure what sort of prize we would do (if ya'll want to do a prize) for the winner. Everyone throw in like an oz of kratom and that goes to the winner? Idk, let me know what ya'll think. Could just do it for some good ole free competition as well

I do Not follow basketball but I do think this is a great idea!

Kratomandmath,
Please get in touch with -
1. e_poison
2. Ballz
3. HH aka herbalhippie

We should start doing more stuff like this!

Lets have a poll for other topics as well to see how many of us are actually interested to be apart of this.

I’m in.
Maybe not for basketball but for something else definitely!

Any vendors interested as well?

Interesting idea, but ya gotta be a real hoops junkie to do the WHOLE bracket for all 32 teams all NCAA .. way too much time.

I'm a sports handicapper, years ago was a professional racing analyst -Long story, I'm retired now - But I'd hate to just throw out names .. :lol:

Everybody starts by following their local Conference, of course. Happy to see those Oregon Ducks get IN!! lol go Pac-12, the Pac-12 teams rarely make it to the Finals, whether its football or basketball. :roll:

Yeah it would be cool to do more stuff like this. Be a good way for vendors to attract customers imo if they decide to hop in ;) lol
A poll should be done so we can find something of common interest. At least this could be more interesting than guessing random numbers (no offense to smiley, I definitely appreciate his willingness to do those monthly contests as I always participate in)

Idk what y'all would feel about maybe doing a poker tournament like texas hold 'em. Not sure of how that would be done. Only played texas hold em in person. Just a thought.

I hear you on the lack of basketball enthusiasts. Honestly though a bracket takes like 10 min to do on ESPN (that is if you don't analyze each match up lol)

I will say that with march madness using ranking methods on average get you around just 60s and 70s % correct. Lucky to get 70% games correct. You're almost better off with just guessing lol. Had someone win a pool before just by picking their favorite mascot in each match-up.

I get that basketball probably won't have many interested and that's perfectly ok. It was just a thought. Would be cool to do some kind of competition thing where there are 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place winners, etc.

Maybe we can do a poll on that to see if people are interested in the first place? Then think of topic ideas

I'd be happy to contribute a three-pack of my Mmm Baik Bali concentrate towards the winner's pool. If you guys figure something out, drop me a PM. :)

I don't follow any college sports but I don't have any feelings either way about those who do.
