March 17, 20223 yr Author I know everyone jon the world is on Iowa- I liked Richmond and was glad to have them. I think Iowa is on damn near everyone’s top 8 on the seeded giveaway contest- but not mine.

March 17, 20223 yr Author Bam. 2-0. I was last in EV ripping this off. Richmond was in my top 8 as evidenced by my picks in the free money. I’m going to gloat now bc truly I think it’s the last time I will be leading.

March 18, 20223 yr Murray State/San Francisco game got huge with the St. Peter's upset of Kentucky. Now either Capn81 has both sides of a 7/15 second round matchup or I have a 10 seed favored in a second round matchup.
March 18, 20223 yr Correct. We end up just each sending our money individually to the winner. PayPal, Venmo, OnlyFans credits, whatever works.

March 18, 20223 yr Author Vermont shoots FT worse than 5 random at the Y shooting for next team. had the game against fucking piggie and tucked it out bc they left so many points on the line. Really bad for a small school that’s not real athletic. Have to take the freebies at that talent level when you don’t have the other shot going for you that high majors do.
March 18, 20223 yr I do appreciate that my results are drastically worse than EV just like at poker. Just relentless run bad.
