    Any advice for a March Maddness Calcutta

    A group of guys in my hometown are starting a calcutta pool. I've read some articles. And have the gist of it, assigning values on pot% and payout%. Just curious if anyone else is in on of these? Thanx SBP

    If you bought a team who would you buy? Small bar group so 20 to 50$. The more games you win the bigger % of the pot you get. I'm liking St louis for 20

    I am in one myself only it is a lot more expensive. I have been a lurker on this board for a long time and actually came over to see if there was a Calcutta thread here, because I posted the same question next door with no replys. In my Calcutta a #4 is is going for $1000-$1500 with the #1's around. I am with just one other person and our budget is about 5K. So that said I am looking to 3 or 4 and higher. My first round will pay $350 and my 2nd $750. So if I spend a grand that team needs to make it to round 3 for a break even. With that said I like

    VCU
    UCLA
    BELMONT (hope to get this for under $350.00)
    Creighton

    St Louis - Probably be $1500-$2000. Can they beat Louisville in round 3? If not, it is not a good buy and I don't think they can.

    I would love to hear anybodys input also.

    I'm in a huge Calcutta each year where the 1 seeds go for 5 figures at auction. I'm sitting out this year because there isn't one team worth thousands of dollars this year.
