Not even lying I went to March Madness Calcutta Auction few days ago in my area. The betting on all 68 teams was $21,000 total pot combined. You win if your team advances past the 1st round and the further your team goes the more money you will make. For example the top 1&2 seeds were going for $900-$1,500 per pop. If Florida makes Elite 8 I brake even I losing nothing, if they advance to Final 4 I win $1,500, championship game $2,500, if Florida wins it all I win $3,200. What all does everyone think? Stupid or smart.
P.S. I was drunk while I was betting this was at brewery along with free beer and alcohol win/win situation right? The total spent as group like (4-6) people they bet on 3 to 4 teams $2,500 to $3,000 collectively per group as an estimate. I on the other hand rode solo and got the best team for $1,600 in Florida Gators. I'm just curious of what ever one thinks about this decision of mine.

Re: I laid down $1600 on Florida winning it all
I think any bet over a certain amount is a dumb bet. If you ever bet so much that you have to worry about whether it's a smart bet, then you ****ed up. Originally Posted by Cold soul

Re: I laid down $1600 on Florida winning it all
I figured, but thanks for the advise. I guess sometimes some alcohol while chilling with some bro's on top of being in the heat of the moment can do that to you. Originally Posted by ILLsmak

Re: I laid down $1600 on Florida winning it all
lol, I definitely wouldn't put down much money at this stage of the tournament. Too much crazy shit happens every year. Once the Final 4 rolls around? Yeah, I'd probably be willing to throw down $1.5k on a winner if I like the odds.
