PokerOwned March Madness upgrade idea

[Rcktwrangler]

Sounds like a fun idea, too bad I'm guessing it will only be for Carbon.

This is more an addendum to Prawney's idea, but when we get this rolling, I think it would be cool for the field to have odds - You could weigh the formula using the ITM% and player rater and allow people to bet on the tournament winner. Also, the odds could adjust throughout so that if you wanted to bet on a winner in the 3rd round you could (you'd get worse odds than if you bet them at the beginning).

I'm writing this in the dark so it probably doesn't make any sense.

Does sickread not realise this is about the march madness upgrade and not just the general upgrade thread.

Anyways Zab you think we will be able to fill out brackets and bet on them??

No he has no clue. Read what I suggested above; I think filling out brackets might be tough to pull off, but betting the winner before the tournament starts and having adjusted odds based on ITM% or player rating would be cool.

Not a bad idea.. but we'd need to fill them out.. then have a 24 hour period when we'd be able to bet on them or "Fill out your bracket" that would be fun.. A side game just like March Madness..

Maybe 5-10% of the prize pool goes towards that + like 10 points per bracket you fill out? How fun would that be

I was thinking more you fill out your bracket like the way march madness current works
