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!!!
