 Send me the link to ESPN loggin.   I mine about 2-3 XMR every other day or so.  I've done well on my Brackets in the past.  Big Kentucky Wildcats fan here.  I could use to win a bet.  Let the smack talk begin LOL.

how is play, this tread is long write iam not understand
iam must sending 2 monero to you, so how to choose winner can get 12 monero, all participan can get 12 monero, or only one winner

First, send your 2 XMR to the address above and report back here by posting your txid.

Then you will get an invite and password to the ESPN March Madness NCAA basketball tournament. Here you will predict and enter the winner of every game all the way through the championship. Each successive round assigns more points for the correctly predicted winners. When the tournament is over, the person who accumulated the most points wins ALL of the moneros.

You can play it "safe" and always pick the higher ranked team but there are always upsets. So if you can luckily predict the upsets, you will have the best chance of winning the most points.

This game looks exciting, I want to know that how can I participate in this?

You send 2 XMR to:

Public Address:
43AdCGvbC2fJZLaYh7GUqvXHCKjfJfqEW8vaGSDCsv3NJBZDg4o7j2yCTWh9gV7bvQgsJBYgWT8SxfX izXVpzFeeTHEasx9

Then, you can verify your transaction here by using 1) the public address above 2) your transaction hash id 3) the private view key (which is below)

Private View Key:
276c3aa01d0313c571943058579893f31fea5730b6cb936a0ea6f250a4793304

When you have sent it, you can just post your transaction hash here on this thread and I will pm you a personal invite link to the group.  Then you can set up your brackets!

I mean, I am not too much aware of NCAA, and what this concept is all about, so can you please clear me up a few things?

If you have specific questions, absolutely.  But the general idea of "March Madness" is that it is a tournament of 64 college basketball teams which play in a single elimination tournament, and the winner at the end will win the National Championship.

As for "Monero Madness", you will predict the teams you think will win for each game.  There are six rounds, so:

1st round = 1 point
2nd round = 2 points
3rd round (sweet sixteen) = 4 points
4th round (elite eight) = 8 points
5th round (final four) = 16 points
6th round (championship) = 32 points

Whoever earns the most points for the whole tournament wins.

And is this an XMR only participation or we can participate through bitcoins too?

Yeah, for simplicity sake, we are just using XMR for buy-ins... You can use shapeshift.io if you'd like to convert bitcoins to XMR, and pay that way rather quickly.  Just make sure to get the transaction hash when it is processed.

But hey, look at the bright side!  Big Brother won't know if you had a shitty bracket this year and didn't win anything!

I don't choose the winner... this is all of us gambling on "March Madness" which is a collegiate/NCAA Basketball National Championship Tournament.

I'm pretty sure I got sync issue sorted, but still 20k blocks to go or so. I will send my two in to the pot and confirm everyone else's txs by tomorrow morning, or I'll turn wallet over to phishead and buy a couple xmr and send them in from an exchange.

[jwinterm]

OK, confirming receipt of txs:

Code:

49b21b3dca96f489bf066deacca6f5a5741695b32b8a156859a6fc4411dae2ce

And I just sent my 2 xmr in tx 607051c19b079a2ceb60088cc7ef74e61da1e2be9021fa9194f7e3363e079923.

So, we have 10 xmr in the pot, or prize of about $177 USD at the moment 

I'll get my picks in tonight or tomorrow...

One more person to help confirm jwinterm:

cryptoholder1 (reddit):  txhash = de48b01e38cd781ff191c4d440d207684acbe13a4f8da99517c7be567968db8d

So we are at 12 xmr, or $228.48 as I type now... That's a pretty nice little pay day! Almost a whopping 2.30 DASH!!!  

Edit:

We have another reddit member join up.

favorite-and-forget (reddit): txhash = 5aa6dfb5a27f4b24c62f7c968e71cbfa3f308d6b5624e2030706ecca1b04f9cf


Which puts us at a total of 14 xmr total!  I'm off to bed and will be at work most of the day... so if I miss anyone tomorrow before the deadline I'm really sorry, but I will try to check here and on reddit for any more stragglers

[jwinterm]

I received three more txs of 2 xmr, actually:

Code:

7bc2fb3fcea97b1bc360ed5d52e4869ed90cf611828cc70c5b1fe74b040b5202

5aa6dfb5a27f4b24c62f7c968e71cbfa3f308d6b5624e2030706ecca1b04f9cf

So, we're actually up to a whopping 16 xmr, which at current prices is about $350 USD. May the best Monerito win

With my knowledge of NCAA i decided to outsource my picks and I googled one. I just hope I did not pick the ones from last season

[phishead]

Alright guys... You know what time it is...

It's time to...


BURN EVERYONES BRACKETS

Nova officially ded... wow.  Wisconsinites murdered everyones hopes and dreams, cold blooded.

Yeah no kidding, you are #3 in the projected/possible points category...

I think whoever has their team win the national championship pretty much wins Monero Madness. ... good news for you is that you are the only person who has Kansas picked, and they are playing pretty f'in good right now.

[jwinterm]

I think I'm not dead if Kentucky and Louisville lose before final four and UCLA makes it into championship game...maybe.

Louisville already lost which also helps me! In fact we have similar brackets it looks like.

Probably only way one of us can win is if UCLA beats Kentucky next and THEN beats Kansas. Then we'd at least have a team in the championship while knocking off 2 champion picks (!). Friday night UCLA-Kentucky is HUGE game. But if Arizona continues to do well under this scenario, floam fourtwelve could win...

[phishead]

And the winner is...

Dr Higgins (aka "Fag Henderson")!!!

Please either post here or just pm jwinterm with the address you want your winnings to go too. Too bad everyone else's brackets sucks so hard that we can't have it be decided by the championship game, but whatevs...  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All in all though, watching the games with some monerojes on the line has been quite enjoyable for me and hope everyone here has had an entertaining time as well. I will try to do something like this for every "major sporting event" like the super bowl or march madness... if anyone would like to do something like this for something else just let me or jwinterm know.

I had fun, and I mean this in the most sincere way...

Congratulations Faggot.

Yes, congratulations to the Fag!

I enjoyed wagering on this and actually watched one of the games for the first time in like 10+ years (UCLA-Kentucky). But damn, is it frustrating to watch these kids play! They just aren't that good! LOL. Jacking up desperate threes from 10 feet behind the line, rushing shots, etc. I mean, I know they aren't pros and I did watch ALOT of college basketball back in the day (go Longhorns), but I think I'm just fine with not being such a big sports fan, anymore. haha whatevs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Febo]

They are 19-22 years old. So should be allready quite developed.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luka_Don%C4%8Di%C4%87

He was just 18 years old, and latter this year should go to college, but since he is best 17 years old basketball player ever will most likely be pick.1 on next draft.


Funny with him is that he is tall and strong for a forward but want to be play maker and similar as Kevin Durant hiding his real height and want to look smaller. Not to mention that normal 18 years old players dont have such strength nor maturity.

[pereira4]

I dumped all my alts for LTC. For some reason the hashrate for segwit is about to go over 70%.... we are going to see a lot of price action, the segwit activation is far from price in, dont wanna miss that.

[jwinterm]

Can someone send me an address for the winner I should pay out to? And if they should get 14 or 16 XMR? Floam? Fag Henderson? Bueller?

[Drhiggins]

7 folks in the NCAA bracket challenge so 14 XMR to me.  Wallet address is:

433XT8hcut3gQR6kw5pPpSXivmw1m3PqA2nLHGLBX5RzbSynrRUZizPN5EW2kDDZAafZrQTsYZutxTF GQAryiiCgFgQhi71

Maybe next year XMR will be $50 and we all put in .5 or 1 XMR.  Its been a few years since I won a bracket.  We only had 7 in the group this year, had there been more I probably would not be collecting these funds as my predictions were all busted up from first round forward.
