I'm in 4 now, all through work (our CFO is running one of them).

2 entries @ ESPN @ $10/each
2 entries @ CBS @ $ 3/each =

$26 in charitable donations this year :D

I'm in 5 free ones. I'm still contemplating a $20 pool with a guy at work, but I'm pretty much just throwing money away on that one. A lot of pro/semi-pro gamblers that follow this stuff a lot closer than me.

I run one at work. Nothing major, just $10/bracket, it's up to about $400 I think. And I joined a friends also.
It's a crapshoot anyways, the 'experts' almost never do well. I've been running this pool for 8 years now and I can't tell you how many times people have placed in the top 3 (I give out to 1st, 2nd and 3rd) based on their favorite team colors, whether or not they liked the state the school was located in, etc. Men and women. xeyebrowx xlolx

Just one $5 pool, sponsored by my old law firm.

I won it last year! Rock chalk, Jayhawk! :p

at least 4, the big one is with my wife. we pick men and women tourney games. the winner gets whatever they want if they sweep both brackets. we've each swept a couple of times, we've been doing it about 10 years.

I always say that this is the year I do a ton of research and fill out one bracket, but I never have the time...

About 5 other free ones.

3 freebies using 2 brackes....AGS, BV and some friends. Couldn't tell you my final four in either bracket without looking it up!

One money one, and a slew of freebies.

Let's see.... I think it's 10. No foolin'.

That doesn't even count my alternate free brackets up on ESPN just in case (like last year) a Final Four team loses in the 1st round. You know, the one where the Patriot League champion actually wins their first-round game.

A couple freebies, and two money pools ($5 each).

I'm in 3 different free ones. All of them have minor differences in picks. I can be wrong sometimes. xlolx

I have one and my wife have one in a $20 pool of @80 players. That is some serious cake for the top 3 to split up!

My wife won it about 4 years ago.
