Some Joe Schmoe scored a parlay and hit it picking the final 4 correctly. $29 into 24K or something close.
I am going have to try this one day.
Not quite the same but similar tactics.
Pick a top seed team. Stick with them until they hit the final 4. Once win, all in the next leg. By the time she hits the final 2, that money would of grown to big. This is considering that she also wins by the spread which is going to be tough and rare. It would be a fun try but not this year though. all 4 top #1 seeds got busted out early on a upset but I did not play such system for this year so perhaps next year, no more fluke of nature. Final 4 will be all 4 #1 seeds to make it more exciting. I still bet some chump change on the #16 seed for a cinderella sneak in though.
