Filling Out Multiple Bracket (Strategies)

[BigDeem5]

I'm doing about 3-4 bracket contests with multiple brackets in some, about 8-10 brackets total.

I used to go with the basically same bracket in all theory, sweep one, sweep em all... But I've backed off this year.

I've gone with my favorite team as Nat'L champ in about 3

Different champs in about 5-6

Also, different combo of teams in Final Fours, however I'm running into this dilemma, I feel like some games are can't misses and some teams have no shot (no matter seed) on making a deep run.

For example, this year I think Kansas is completely overrated, Ben McLemore is too young, Elijah Johnson isn't a true PG, Withey is big-time but I don't see them pass the Sweet 16, no matter who they play.. UNC/Villanova could beat them, then VCU/Michigan should beat em... So in about every bracket I've rode them to lose to UNC, Michigan, VCU in different scenarios.

Also, some 1st rd match-ups I picked same team in all of them (only 1st rd games but still)

For example, I took Colorado to beat Illinois in every one, SDSU to beat Oklahoma -- these are 7/10 supposedly 50/50 games I feel like aren't even close. I've mixed in my upsets in most

Bucknell Sweet 16, New Mexico St 1st rd winner, California Sweet 16 in a couple - but overall I feel confident in about 3 teams getting deep (Miami, Indiana, Louisville)

Problem I ran into is miami/indy are in same bracket so split them up....

I love Louisville to win MidWest but even threw Duke/MSU in a couple to advance

Bottom Left I have about 4 combinations with OSU, New Mexico, Wisc, Zaga all getting there

But South region is by far the hardest, I could see UNC getting hot and making a deep run, VCU, Michigan, Florida or Georgetown. I haven't liked GT much, but Michigan is young, VCU can't score at times, and I loved FLA about 2-3 weeks ago, but they have droughts, I find too many flaws in all these so jumbled em all across my brackets

Summing this up is this, What's your strategy in doing multiple brackets? Same or differ from mine?

My most confident bracket looks like this (Louisville, Indiana, Michigan, OSU) Final 4. Lousville beating Indy. I'm about 50/50 with Michigan/FL and Indy/Miami and OSU/Zaga, so I combo'd these

Let's hope we hit the right combos this year!!

My dark horse: Wisconsin could easily make a final four

Also, NC State, this team can play, they have a very tough match-up vs Indiana, but with Howell/Leslie they could knock off a Indiana team in right circumstances.

1st rd big upsets: N. Mexico St, Belmont, Minnesota, California, Bucknell (all of these legit shots)

Definitely mix it up. One with barely any upsets, one with lots of upsets, ride two or three teams to the title is a must. I would put Kansas through in at least one so that doesn't bury you. It sucks to know the Friday of the 2nd (1st round) that your bracket is finished like Duke/Missouri backers last year.

Too much love for the B1G, they've killed each other all year - its possible a B1G team wins it all, but I doubt you'll see them domiate the final four like that.

I have no idea on strategies, just an opinion on your words otherwise.

I have Georgetown vs VCU in the South. Which probably won't happen.

[JOHNNY DOBBS]

when i fill out multiple brackets, I circle 5-8 games in my initial bracket as my question mark games, where im not extra confident. Then i fill out another bracket, switching the teams out in all the question mark games. This strategy has done well for me.

spend most of your time handicapping individual games

bracket is dart chuckin

Got some copyright problems going on in your 2nd sentence pal, Ill let it slide this time.....GL but like Hater said, might as well but the bracket on the dart board and fire away.

this hater agrees with darkhat. no one can pick 63 games even straight up. so actually trying to do it is a monumental waste of time and energy. just stab away without researching. better chance of hitting powerball.
