is that fraudulent though? :think:

i don't think it is. if she went out and actually made a bet against her team/school...then yeah, that is fraudulent. this is just a bracket. can't pick michigan to win thw whole thing every year :lol:


theoretically, would you choose the cowboys over the eagles? a true fan should never pick an arch rival over their team


but isn't a march madness pool different? i've never bet against the eagles. but, as a villanova basketball fan, i've inevitably picked them to lose at some point pretty much every year in my brackets (with a couple exceptions :lol: ).

but i guess if you have your team going all the way to final game against a conference rival, you gotta go with your squad at that point. i don't remember being in that situation though.

but you're a bigger fan of the eagles than nova, yes? so transfer that fandom to nova...would you bet georgetown over nova? (or whatever their biggest rival is)

championship game you gotta go with your team...if you're a true fan, that trumps all including money

i'm a huge nova fan. but i just think filling out a bracket, where you're picking so many games, is different than actually placing a bet against your squad.

but championship game--once you get that far, yeah at that point you gotta stay the course. :lol: i guess she's a fraud after all

theyre now 1-2. theres a long way to go...
Now what we have to understand is that this comes from an extremely clever and skillful program, that has manipulated us into ways of thinking that may be contrary to our own interests, but beneficial to the interests of the powers that be... beneficial to the interests of those who control our lives, and tax us until we have hardly a penny left to spend, take our money, and plough it into the creation of huge, armed bureaucracies, which exist to oppress us. We live in a society today where we may not make decisions, to explore our own consciousness. If I am not sovereign over my own consciousness, then I am sovereign over nothing.
