    How Many Brackets Do You Guys Fill Out

    Some years I only fill out 2 and use them for my contests. Other years, I got about 8.

    This year I have filled out 4 brackets. But, I know I will be filling out at least 2 more. I think this is a tough year for the brackets.

    Bitch and complain all you want, but i can't wait for this baby. Always a great time of the year.

    better question is, do you fill out each bracket the same ? or do you make different picks on each ?

    I will have about 5 brackets and all will be the exact same... cuz if i get hot, i want clean up.

    usually 3-4, usually minute differences (1st-2nd round gms may differ) but usually latter round advancements stay consistent in my brackets.

    Don't you realize how tough these things are? It is crazy to do them all identical at least switch a few teams you have no strong opinion on. You have to accept up front that they are impossible to nail down so pick the teams you like (75% or more) and then flip a few. Then go to espn.com and play 10 there, takes about an hour of your time and you will have 15 and a chance to win $10k

    I will play the Heritage bracket

    Maybe buy one or two at BookMaker I think they are 10 bucks each or 1 free for every hundred dollar deposit

    Plus the SBR ones

    I think it is smart to mix up your bracket plays unless you enjoy saying "wait till next year" after day #1

    I fill out one and only one. When you start filling out 3-5 then you clearly don't know what your doing.

    Do your research once and see how well you know what your doing. Don't fill out 5 and show everyone only your good one.

    one, and I use the the same one for like 4 different pools. If I fill out different ones i get all messed up on what teams I need to win in what pools.

    I stayed up until 4am last night filling out about 18 brackets, with the 18 most likely scenarios I see happening. Every matchup was carefully thought out in every bracket. I started about 11pm. I filled out 1 more today which makes 19.

    I plan to one day win a million for the perfect bracket. Or win 10k or 5k for 1st or second place. I think I have a good shot at the million this year as I am arguably the best handicapper in this world.

    i do a few, and for some reason i can never bring myself to make any of them different. I think its just cause I hate having conflicting interests when watching the games

    Waste of time. Would rather pick two or three teams and see how they fare in their tourney.
