NCAA 2025 March Madness Squares Pool
$25 March Madness Squares Pool is back for the 3rd year! The last 2 years seemed to be a success, so i intend to build on that. The basics are: All 63 games starting with the round of 64 will be included. The final score for each game earns a winning square, with prize amounts shown below. Everyone must escrow! The square grid will have winning team across the top, losing team down the side, which is how winning squares for each game will be determined.
I don't have any crypto accounts, so escrow would need to be via paypal, venmo, or cashapp. I can also do zelle if needed.
Payouts would be as follows:
Round of 64: $25 per game
2nd round: $25 per game
3rd round: $50 per game
Elite 8: $75 per game
Final 4: $150 per game
Championship: $300
63 chances to win!
Once all 100 squares are paid for, the board will be randomized with names first, and then numbers. I will randomize names, then send them to a neutral party for verification. Then I would have someone here with no knowledge of the names list randomize 2 sets of numbers. One would be for the winner's side, one for the loser's side. As stated above, each game would be paid based on the final score.
So if the final score of a game is 75 - 70, the square that wins would be winning side 5, losing side 0.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I won't be able to reply back to the thread until tomorrow due to going out of town for the day, but wanted to get it rolling. I will be posting Sweet 16 pools tomorrow afternoon, hoping to get interest in those as well.
Squares list:
Cokeboy99: 5 squares
Notes - Payouts will be the night of the Championship game. I'll post in here after each game with the winning square info. Payouts will all be done after the championship game so as to avoid multiple payouts to the same person. Again, escrow is required and can be done via paypal, cashapp, venmo, or zelle.
When sending escrow payments, make sure you're not using a "pay for goods or services" option that'll charge fees, and DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THE NOTES EXCEPT YOUR 2+2 USERNAME!!!

Now that all squares are claimed, please send escrow if you haven't already. I would like all escrow by Sunday,March 16th. Anything not sent by then will be released and I have additional friends to cover as needed.
Once all escrows are received, I will start with the numbering process.
As in previous years, I will randomize the name list 5 times, send it to a volunteer to hold, and fill out the board. After that, I'll need 2 sets of numbers 0-9, 1 for each axis.
The first number set will go across the top, for the winning team score. The 2nd list will be the left axis, for the losing team score.
Update - waiting on escrow from 1 person. Once that is completed the randomizing can begin!
Still need a volunteer to receive the names list once I've randomized it, however. Anyone??
Sure.
Anyone here crazy enough to run a OTT/4 bracket pool? I don't see anything in SE. Something low stakes like $10 or $20 so everyone can enter multiple brackets.
If escrow bails I’ll take spot

Escrow is all accounted for. I will randomize the names list shortly and send it to Tom Ames, who graciously offered to hold that list. The board will be completed with the first 10 names in column 1, top to bottom, next 10 in column 2, and so on.
Once the grid is completed, I will ask for 2 number lists to be randomized, 0-9. First set will go across the top for the winning team score, next set down the left axis for the losing team score. I'll post the completed board here, post final scores live in real time with winners, and pay everyone out after the championship game is finished!
List of names has been randomized and sent to Tom Ames.
I need 2 lists of 0-9 randomized, by anyone other than Tom.
The first 2 lists will be used. First across the top, second down the left axis.
Thank you!
