    Heh, I learned a long time ago, when trying to bet on sports, don't even waste your time doing any more than basic fact-finding - it never makes the blindest bit of difference- one guy has a bad game and all your hard work goes out the window.

    I usually only bet on the tournament mostly for fun, but it is getting personal. I've been so close so many times. I should have won one year, but like an idiot I didn't listen to my gut and instead of taking Michigan St. I took Boston College as my fourth pick. That was the year UNC played Michigan St. for the national championship.

    If I would have taken Michigan I would have had it locked up after the final four games, instead, I lost the money because we had to go all the way back to the fourth team to determine the winner (three other people had UNC). Boston College lost in the first round, and I lost because of them...I will never bet on them or pull for them ever again because of that.

    I also bet on football sometimes, but I usually do the crazy bets. I'm the guy that won money on the Lions when they were like 0-19. I doubled up on that Redskins/Lions game as a matter of fact. Talked the guy into that and everything...he was so sure he was going to make an easy $20 off of me. He ended up getting woken up to me banging on his door at four in the afternoon to tell him the Lions won and he owed me $40. He didn't believe me until he saw the final score on TV, he was in shock that I called that one.

    My gut is actually pretty good at calling winners. I have a talent for it I guess...I'm really good at calling upsets for some reason. Maybe it is just because I like pulling for underdogs so much.

    Anyway, I'm winning the money this year and I'm putting in the effort to do it. I'm sick of seeing someone else walk away with my $25 every year.
