March Madness Schedule

Today’s March Madness Schedule has several interesting matchups. Here are my takes on a few of them.

Jordan Crawford, the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, leads Xavier (6) against Minnesota (11). Look for Crawford to light it up against the Golden Gophers. This is a pick-em game according to the handicappers.

Missouri (10) at Clemson (7) features two teams that lost on their conference tournaments to much-lower-ranking opponents looking to rebound from those losses. Experts predict an incredibly fast-paced matchup between these two teams. Clemson is a 1.5 point favorite.

Even though New Mexico State (12) is a 13-point dog to Michigan State (5), look for their attacking press to force a lot of turnovers — Michigan State is prone to them. I would not be surprised to see the Aggies upset the Spartans in this game. I’m pretty sure the Aggies will at least cover the spread.

Louisville (9) has the size to potentially dominate California (8), especially since Cal is without Omondi Amoke. Another pick-em game, I’d go with Louisville.

Win cash in skill game tourneys

If you think that you’re better than most players at skill games like checkers, chess, backgammon, gin, cribbage, dominoes, canasta, and solitaire games, I have a great site for you. GameColony hosts both free and cash skill game tournaments, and players from 35 US States are eligible to play. (Players are barred from: Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, South Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, Washington and Vermont.).

Here’s how it works:

  1. Sign up for an account at GameColony — it took me about a minute, since all you need to provide is your choice of a screen name and password, and your birth year.
  2. Use the free-play option to check out the games that they have to offer. You’ll want to get familiar with the games and the rules before you play for cash.
  3. Fund your account using PayPal or a credit card for as little as $5.95. You get $Tickets in exchange for your deposit.
    • 5 $Tickets for — $5.95
    • 10 $Tickets for — $10.95
    • 25 $Tickets for — $26.95
    • 50 $Tickets for — $51.95
    • 100 $Tickets for — $103.95
  4. Play the games either head-to-head or in multi-person tourneys for $Tickets. Approximately 85% of the $Ticket entry fees are returned to the winners.
  5. Any time that you have more than 2 $Tickets, you can convert them back to cash and make a withdrawal back to your PayPal or credit card. Withdrawals in excess of your original deposit are sent to you as a check.

Good luck at the games!

PokerStars Sunday Million Channel

PokerStars Sunday Million

If you can’t enough poker on television, check out the PokerStars Sunday Million Channel. I just watch last week’s 30 minute final table highlight show. I found the production quality to be outstanding, and the commentary was pretty good, too. Perhaps they will add a second announcer for some variety.

And if you want your chance to play in this weekly $1.5M guaranteed tournament, all you need is a PokerStars account and $215. Or, win your way into the tournament for less than $215 by playing in their daily satellites. Top prize is usually well over $150K — last week it was nearly $250K!
