How to Fill Out Your March Madness Pool

---

March is the time of year almost everything holds still for a bit. After 6 months of basketball the year is finally starting to wrap up. After the conference tournaments are completed and the Selection Committee makes their selections for who joins the Big Dance, many men will take off of work to view the first two games of the Tournament on the Thursday and Friday. In addition, the wagering on the Tournament will commence.

Millions of dollars are gambled on March Madness each year, not only in Las vegas, but in private as well. Nobody knows who will win, but the tiny numbers on the ends of each team can give you a minimal idea. For example, a number 16 seed has never beaten a number 1 seed. So that is a lock. The odds of a number two seed beating a number fifteen seed are extremely low as well. After you get these selections out of the way the tournament is wide open. Many workplace tournaments are won by a lady who knows practically nothing about basketball but liked the colors of the team, or maybe purchased a turtle when she was younger so she picked Maryland to win it all.

An significant fact from all this cash bet on the tournament is that the players do not receive a penny. These student-athletes work incredibly hard for 6 months to get to the Tournament. When they finally reach their target, they are forbidden to receive any money from the millions of dollars that are placed on their games. Fair? Not fair? We will discuss that in the next article.
