Title: 1 bitcoin buy-in March Madness Brackets, I hold the coins 100% payout
Post by: Micon on March 18, 2013, 07:05:35 PM
1)  I saw there was a site that hosts NCAA brackets, but I want to run something simple without any rake that you only will have to trust me with the prizepool for a few weeks.

2)  Simple Yahoo bracket, progressive scoring, 100% payout to the winner:  http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/register/joinprivategroup_assign_team?GID=128858&P=bitcoin   [password is "bitcoin"]

3) 1 bitcoin to enter.   You can enter up to 5 brackets, 1 coin for each bracket entered.  Here is a hash:  1Cb2aoJjoYMLYYPLnLPyxXjTmJ9PxdLsoa   IMO name your Bracket entry with your bitcoin receiving hash. Whoever wins I will ship the coin along to that address.

4)  List of entries and who has or hasn't paid will be kept here.  Coin due by 8am ET march 21st.  I will remove all non-paying entries so that the bettors can sweat the action properly.

Awesome. I apparently linked the wrong transaction the first time though I pasted the right transaction hash. The coins are coming from an address other than the payment address.

Hopefully this expands beyond a one-on-one contest...

Yeah, I'd already placed most of the basketball bets for the day out of their wallet, so I funded this one from the baseball betting wallet. Puerto Rico's win last night more than covered this buy in.

I hope we pick up another gambler or two, was really hoping for 10, now hoping for 5

it's still a fun sweat either way IMO.

Well, I presented this to a few friends I just introduced to the coin and it's a bit too rich for their blood...

Well this was an interesting sweat. Congratulations on the relative success of you bracket as it is time for me to concede this bet. At least with these upsets this year the sports books have given me the chance to make back the buy in.
