Slippy 1 Posted March 11, 2019 Ok, so ya, I'm newer to this site, but I've been on The Huddle and then FBGs (Cunning Runt at Huddle and TJ at FBG). Anyway, for whatever cred that's worth (none probably), I do run an NCAA pool and there were like, I dunno, 1750 entries or something like that last year. I think the pot was in excess of 8 grand at $5 per entry. There's already about 130 signed up from last year on the site I use ready and waiting for the brackets to be released Sunday. If you're interested, PM me, and I'll send you the link. It's legit. Pinky promise, but I do encourage early sign up so when the time comes, all you have to do is make your picks. No credit card info or anything like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slippy 1 Posted March 15, 2019 Gonna keep this bumped up for a bit. 160 people already signed in and brackets aren't released yet. Each of those folks will probably average 4 sheets. It's real, and it's spectacular (Seinfeld reference). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a matter of fact, who here has ever been sent money that didn't run away with it, sans myself? Well, me. I’m not a thief. It’s legit. No worries there. 270 individuals so far. But hey, I get the anonymous internet guy concern. Just throwing it out there in case people wanted to give it a try. It’s a good pot for $5 bracket sheets. Pay out 20 places. 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 6-10 3%, 11-20 1%. Last year, the winning bracket took home $2300.00 and that was just 25% of the payable pot. No idea at this point if it’ll be bigger, not as big, or about the same. I can only spread the word and let the chips fall where they may. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SenatorRock 708 Posted March 18, 2019 After 5 minutes searching their site, and another 5 minutes searching Bing, I still haven't found anything that mentions how they take payment. Sounds sketchier than an India based crypto-wallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds sketchier than an India based crypto-wallet. Except it isn’t. The pool is hosted by pickhoops.com. When you click on the link, you are probably asked to create a username and password for pickhoops if you’ve never used their site before. So after you create a username and password, click the link in this thread and it should take you to the pool. You may need to log in again. Not sure. Anyway, the site does not take payment. That would constitute gambling so they won’t take money. But on the pool home page I outline several payment options. So far there are over three hundred individuals and around 500 brackets. Wednesday is the big day so that will grow by a lot. Dude, how you ended up on bing is curious, but I can assure you, it’s not a scam - just an ncaa pool with a nice pot. Nothing more. Promise. The website does not accept payment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
