Gambling on amateur sports: Do it for your sister
Wednesday, March 16th, 2005The sacrifices we have to make around here in the name of family unity. Here are the picks on which I’m betting money this year [PDF]. And here are the upset picks As We May Blog is confident recommending to anyone, for any size bet (up to $5):
(10) North Carolina State over (7) Charlotte
(12) UW-Milwaukee over (5) Alabama
(13) Penn over (4) Boston College

dude, I was with you with UWM, but Penn over BC? You’re fucking whacked. That said, it’s not a terrible pick as the Illini will negate it in the third round as they move on all the way to the finals. FF = Illinois, Wake Forest, N. Carolina and Duke. Bland, yes, solid, yes, vaginal even? Probably. But I have Duke taking the title, not many will pick that, and not many will be as correct as me.

tanx for the help, brudder. i agree with tb on the final four, but i have confidence in illinois’ ability to take the title (esp. since they’re playing in fucking chicago the whole fucking time. remember when ucla always used to win? remember we could only bet with soda-pop when we pooled with dad?

The only thing more overrated than BC is the pope.
The pick I’ll make in a pool where I won’t lose money for it is UConn out in the 2nd round…
…or earlier!

you’re really going out on a limb with that Uconn pick considering half the team is out with genital warts and the rest have been suspended. You got the inside dish just like Rachael Ray!

Somebody’s bracket just went to shizit, and it weren’t mine. Believe it or not, every single on of my second round picks is still alive. That’s what you bitches get for betting on Kansas and Syracuse. You, my friends, have just been OWNED.

4th place in the SI league after calling 7 of 8 yesterday. Unfortunately that 8th was Wake, who I had in the Final Four. WF-WVA was one of the best basketball games I’ve ever seen in my life, though, so I didn’t feel too badly.

That game was amazing. Sara even pretended to have some interest.

So look who made that pick in the pool where he could lose money on it.

I conceded the UCONN game long ago. Perhaps you missed that as one of your Final Four teams was losing in the first round.
