    Yeah I agree. It is always fun to fill one out, and see how well you did, and shit if you win then you probably win big! The money is really in betting the individual games. I kinda just glanced at the brackets picked n chose within 10 minutes. If you look too much into you'll lose your mind!

    BOL ya'll!

    I do one bracket, and it takes me 15 minutes. Who takes hours to fill out brackets? That's like doing research on the lottery, total waste.

    I filled out 2 brackets which is 2 more than I planned on doing. Never understand why people place so much emphasis on them. Especially those who are neurotic about it.

    Truth be told I wasn't going to do any, but there was one in work circulating for 20 bucks a pop, so just for chits and giggles I did one office bracket pool, spent probably entirely 7 minutes on it.

    Who puts hours into them? Just a simple 15 minute bracket for an office pool etc? No effort needed

    I Always do and enter bracket contests. I haven't picked the champion correctly since 2003. Gambling on the games gives more joy and a better chance of winning money. Anybody can win a bracket contest. The money is in the individual games.

    wish we had an office one.. its fun for shit talking and etc... but yeah man.. we aren't trying to take the books down with brackets...

    i dont bet parlay cards either.. but every year when i am in vegas / reno for superbowl.. i play a 10$ parlay card... why? because its fun and easy... is it sharp.. no... but who the hell is grinding out parlay cards?

    so why is it a waste of time to do something you enjoy ? or something that makes you social? Brackets is a social way of gambling with friends that NEVER gamble.. nothing wrong with it..

    It is for fun and bragging rights over co-workers and friends etc...


    the 5 minutes I spent putting mine together didn't hurt my schedule too bad


    I would think these office pools would be easy pickins for some of you "sharps" since it is just picking straight up winners

    You guys are crazy. The bracket is what March Madness is all about. It's a tradition and I'll do one every year for the rest of my life.

    5dimes has $1, $5, $10, $25 brackets for entries.

    I'll try them out for fun. The pools are not huge but at least that gives you a better chance.

    I realize it's a "square" thing, but my office does it for like 20 a person. It's more of a pain in the ass from people if i don't do it.

    250-1 not that long ago.
