OK, and I'll make the odds even for everybody. Meaning if there are 25 players, everybody will get 24-1 odds for winning the pool.

Will there be a tiebreaker for first place in that pool? Like score of the championship game.

I believe so yes...

I'm setting up the league now actually.

OK - I can't set up the vBet until we know how many entrants there are, and then I have to close the vBet once the games start. So can you close the number of entries on Tuesday night, so folks will have Wednesday and Thursday morning to place vBets on themselves in the pool? Or is that strictly up to Yahoo, and open until Thursday morning?

The other option is to say that the vBet will only be for the highest score among the first xx number of entrants.

OK, I'm entered in the yahoo pool, and there is a tiebreaker.

Here's one that may draw some interest. Howza'bout setting one up where you pick the total seed #'s of the teams that make the final four, and the total of the seed #'s are the odds that pay out.

Example: If you think all 4 #1 seeds make the final four, you get paid out at 4/1.

If you think 3 #1's and a # 2 make it, you get paid at 5/1.

If you think all #16 seed's make it, you get paid 64/1.

Obviously, not good odds as you go up on the numbers, but the 4/1 through 10/1 picks should gain some interest.

Peace.

Good idea - done. I grouped everything 32 and higher into a single line at 32-1.

OK, I think I'm done with basketball bets until Friday, except for some Women's bball bets I'll set up tomorrow.

EDIT - I also will be setting up the vbet for the yahoo bracket entries on Tuesday night

Just in case anybody was wondering what other vbets might be created before deciding where to toss their vCash during the Tournament.

Next week, I'll have another set of odds for who wins each region.

I'm only doing selected individual games, and I'm usually not bothering with an over/under for those.
