Justbet/Predictem $1500 March Madness Bracket and Futures Contest Rules and Info

HUGE thanks to Gary at Justbet for sponsoring this contest!

How the Contest Works:
No deposit is necessary to play, HOWEVER, if you do make a deposit at Justbet prior to the sweet 16 games, you will be eligible to have your prize DOUBLED. FYI, they have some of the best bonus offers in the industry and you can sleep at night knowing we have a very tight relationship with them and you will never get the runaround from them.

The contest will take place in a special forum labeled "Justbet.com/Predictem.com March Madness Bracket and Futures Contest". This forum can be found on the main forums page near the top.

Pre-selected forum members (64) (participants listed at the bottom of this page) will go head to head in a bracket format. Point spreads for each day's games will be posted in your head to head thread. You will need to make 5 picks from the games we list. The tiebraker is the forum member with the most posts in their tenure at Predictem. If a player fails to make his picks, his opponent wins and moves on to the next round. In the event of neither forum member posting, the one with the highest post count moves on. (Please do not be offended if you were not selected. It was a quick process where we looked over the most recent "active" list from the forum)

As the tournament shortens, you will need to pick:
5 picks during round 1
5 picks during round 2
5 picks from the sweet 16
4 picks from the great 8
2 picks from the final 4
1 pick from the championship game

This will be real easy for you to digest as we'll post your head to head matchup along with the spreads and notation of how many games you have to pick + tiebreaker.

For those both in the bracket contest and NOT in the bracket contest, we are having a separate contest where PRIOR to the tournament, you can select 5 forum members that you think will make it to the final four. Each of these forum members will have odds posted next to their name. Make your 4 picks and please list the forum member's odds along with your pick. (please)

When we get down to the end of the contest, those who make the final four will submit their final four and championship game picks via email along with a tiebreaker that we list.

In the bracket contest, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place will win the following free plays from Justbet.com:

Thank you for picking me to participate. Is this format "sides only" or "sides and totals".

[Kevin]

It'll be sides only. We'll post lines once their out. Should be fun.

[DukiesBaby]

couple questions kev...


in the futures contest if u select people and they don't participate (like don't make their picks) is that the risk involved in selecting your final 4 people...?



on the depositing in the betting account before Thursday to "double your potential prize money" is their a deposit limit needed to be eligible for the double prize?


what happens if your opponent doesn't make his picks in the head to head? and will brackets be readjusted if a few people don't make selections
for example:

team A makes his picks
team b doesnt post his picks

team c doesnt post his picks
tead d doesnt post his picks


so does team A get a bye through 2 rounds? or will u guys readjust brackets


Thanks for holding the tournament btw

[Kevin]

Good questions!

"in the futures contest if u select people and they don't participate (like don't make their picks) is that the risk involved in selecting your final 4 people...?"

Correct. If a guy was a no show, that kinda puts ya in the crapper for that pick.

"on the depositing in the betting account before Thursday to "double your potential prize money" is their a deposit limit needed to be eligible for the double prize?"

Minimum deposit of $100.

"what happens if your opponent doesn't make his picks in the head to head? and will brackets be readjusted if a few people don't make selections
for example:

If your opponent doesnt post, you WIN and move on to the next round.

1 last question...

is it possible for you to break up the 64 teams into 4 seperate brackets so when i make my futures pick for final 4 i can atleast take 1 from each braket so they have a chance at all making final 4?

[TommyGold]

Good luck to all!

The matchups go in the same order that they're posted above.

Where it says left side bracket above, those names start at the top left. Then under right side bracket it goes down from there to the bottom.

If you grab a blank bracket you can fill them in and be able to see who is in what "region"

[ooodsie]

When will round 2 be posted?
