BMR Forum's 2025 March Madness Bracket Contest: $5,000 in Sportsbook Cash

[RRsilver]

I am 16th, but my entire path may hinge on Illinois beating Kentucky Sunday, I have 15 of Sweet 16 aliive but Illinoiis is only non-Top 4 seed (had Clemson, OUCH).

12 0f 16 now. it looks like, and 23rd. GL LT.
I'm not much better off 13 OF 16

 

[BMR Genie]

Good luck on Sweet 16, guys.

 

[Tanko]

Dayam.... Now @danielesp has some competition.


Arunsh and Daniel are always near the top in these things. They are like ringers.

Of course these guys near the top...... as expected.

 

[lapenti]

Duke looks unbeatable. SEC amazing...most teams from same conference in sweet 16 ever

 

[arunsh]

Of course these guys near the top...... as expected.

Thanks for the confidence, but as I said, whenever I'm doing really well after the first weekend, I tend to get destroyed second weekend!

We'll see though, obviously I'd like to stray from that trend!

Semihedging my Duke position today with Arizona +9.5 and TT over 73

 

[BMR Genie]

We will post a new update first thing tomorrow. Good luck today.

-250 for being in top 5

Heh appreciate the confidence! Unfortunately for you if Duke doesn't win it all, I won't finish in the $$ so your faith might have been misplaced!
