 Wrap-up.
4/9/07 10:00 pm
-Ok.
First and foremost I want to apologize for the lateness
of this update. All the data was there and done, just
no annual summary of the winners until now. I blame
Sandrick but having 2 kids might have had something
to do with it as well. Next I want to recognize a
few records. First, a record turn out in the u-pick.
I want to thank each and every one of you for making
that happen. The 2nd record related to the total score
for the winner. As Pool Bully so elquently aluded
to, the previous record was 90, which would have gotten
your 11th this year. -Crazy!
Next
I want to quickly summarize some other news. This
year we said good bye to the beta program "Stud"
-There just wasn't enough interest to keep this afloat.
We also saw the death of the "First Wed"
lotto pick and Supergrid Party. By Moving the Grid
to the Sweet sixteen round, having the internet, and
the overall aging of the members of this group, the
"first Wed" just didn't seem needed anymore.
Hopefully it will drive traffic to the "sweet
sixteen Wed" which should remain a staple of
fun for years to come.
Enough of this rambling you want to know the offical
stats right? well here they are.
Thank
you all for another great year, it is because of YOU
that this site exists!
2007

While
this is not 100%, I also have calculated an ROI (return
on investment) for the top winners.

RyanV
was in 2nd with 214% While Dave
rounded out the top 3 with 194%. For those keeping
track ShawnR
actually came out in the black this year, with a 140%
return on his investment.
Last
update prior to Wed/Thur Summary

is is. The Big night. Will we have a first time Repeat?
Will a rookie take most of the beans? We'll know by
the end of tonight. Of course, the site won't update
untill around wed/thur as I double check and finish
up all the posts. So until then, good luck! BTW: Michelle
and Dave... Florida

again he is the undisputed Loto king!!!)
Home Stretch
3/31/07 4:00 pm
Ok
Guys and girls, this is it, the home stretch. If you've
checked out the scenarios you know that there are
really only a few left competing for the big titles.
Once agian it was a record year, both in participants,
and correct pick percentages. From the outside looking
in, it appears those chickens who picked a "striaght
ticket" finally have a year where that is indeed
what happened. Anyway, below are the spreads for tonights
game. ALL PLAYERS are still active in the SUPERGRID,
once again proving it's a the real deal when it comes
to March Madness. Tonights SUPERGRID sqaures payout
35 java beans each. After monday, I'll start on the
master payout spreadsheet and will be auditing the
boards reconciling the beans. Until Monday night,
Enjoy!!

3 over JohnS
and his UCLA sqaud.

put up one heck of a fight, THEE Ohio State almost
wasn't and those fighting Turtles of Maryland pulled
back into their shells as the local favs BUTLER took
it to 'em in the strech. Is THAT WHAT YOU THOUGHT
WOULD HAPPEN? Look at the stats and see who actually

Madness
Eve.
3/14/07
Just
a quick update on this "Madness Eve" -The
Lotto was pulled and the results are on the 2007
lotto page. Secondly, the u-pick is still available
for those last minute bracket creators. I won't accept
anymore after the start of the first game tomorrow.
As soon as the games start I will start to make active
the rest of the links for the U-Pick so that you can
see what the rest of your "peers" think
is a winning bracket and laugh at them. Coolbeans?
Until tomorrow (when I'll post the official (Indystar)
spreads) Chow!
