NCAA 2024 March Madness Squares Pool

NCAA 2024 March Madness Squares Pool

$25 March Madness Squares Pool is back for the 2nd year! Last year 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: 4 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!!!

How do up sign up for this years March madness square pool

Go back in time about a month. :p

Sorry. This year's pool is full.


how do you enter this pool

how do you enter this pool

For this year you can't. It's full.

If you want to enter next year's pool, you'll have to wait until it opens and enter by escrowing the buy in amount to whoever runs the pool.

Read and then re-read the 1st post in this thread.

Not sure if serious.

is the 'up' an upper panhandle statement for texas folk?
asking for the great lakes of michigan

"UP" means Upper Peninsula (of Michigan). The part where it snows like hell ~5 months/year. People there known (somewhat) affectionately as Yoopers.

I thought the overdone accents in Fargo were more representative of the UP than northern Minnesota, if that's worth anyone's consideration.

As mentioned, this pool is filled and nunbers drawn already. I start it shortly after Valentine's Day to ensure enough time to fill it and collect escrow from everyone. Please check back next year if you wish.


If the play-in games counted EC Outlaw would have swept last night. Looking forward to this on Thursday. 1 more thing to sweat.


Today is the day! Just over 4 hours until the first game tips off. Good luck everyone!


yes...good luck to all the runners


FIL is full-blooded UPer. A strange breed for sure.


Michigan State, a team familiar with March Madness, wins 69-51 in the first game of our squares pool, and gives ec_outlaw, who is familiar with squares pools, the first win of the pool!

Congrats sir!


ec_outlaw is on the beach in Costa Maya sipping on umbrella drinks 🍸 and making bank. Must be nice.


Duquesne upsets BYU, 71-67. kevstreet won't be upset, however, as he hits and is now freerolling the pool with his single square!

Cozumel today

Cozumel today

I'm doing a cruise next February. 7 days in the Western Caribbean. Cozumel is one of the stops. Enjoy!!


Creighton bucks any talk of a first round upset, beating Akron 77-60 and earning redbuck his first square win!


Arizona beats Long Beach St 85-65, ending the upset bid. Meanwhile, C Bids gets a square!


Who said 5-5 was worthless!?!?!


UNC over Wagner 90-62. UNC is the first 1 seed to play, and win; 0-2 is the first winning square of the many for REDeYeS00. This particular square is labeled "REDeYeS00-11 (rv)"


Illinois wins 85-69 over Morehead State. Coincidentally, I'm from Illinois, and 5-9 is my square! First winning square for me this year.

Woke up from my nap and thought I’d hit one, but no. Used to the other board that’s favs/underdogs rather than winners/losers.

I just find it easier to do winners vs losers. Sorry for the confusion!
