Welcome to the annual final four contest. This year’s contest will go back to original form with only 64 teams, versus the 256 teams we had the previous two years.
The Fly has also informed me that The PPT will not be sponsoring the contest anymore. So don’t expect another thousand dollar prize. I think he is done with prizes.
Ibankcoin once rewarded someone a prize of $1,000, only to have this low cretin complain-publicly- about the 25 dollar PayPal fee

Because of that, Our annual march madness giveaway has been canceled

Every week you will go against an opponent, and the person with the highest percentage gain for the week moves on to next week. percentage gains reset every week, making an even playing field and new start each and every week.

Screw that ingrate who whined and puked about the $25 !!!
Who was the idiot?
My message to the douchbag: get off the internet, as it will be a better place without you.
ZEPHLER WAS THE BASTARD, I believe.
oh yes – it was I !!! The prize was listed at $1000, and I assumed that since the website tries to achieve accuracy, that I would point out, that the prize is not actually $1000 – facts are facts – what Fly chooses to do with the fact is up to him – I merely pointed out the discrepancy
btw, I believe it was a $27 fee. Look, I was more than grateful for the prize, and was simply getting fly’s goat by pointing out the paypal fee (it was $27.30 I believe). Well, it looks like I still have his goat.
my pick last year was $PCYC at around $20 or so – check where it is now 😉
Thx a lot Zephler – way to ruin it for everyone by complaining over $28 bucks when you won a $1,000 without even posting any cash yourself. Pathetic.
