ESPN Tournament Challenge

Looks like the guy who won the Tournament Challenge won't be collecting $20,000. He's in the 6th grade.

If you actually read the article you will notice that the winner does not automatically get $20,000 (which is in gift card form), but rather the top 1% of all contestants are entered in a drawing to get the gift card and other prizes.

You want to know what I'm going to do with the winnings? I'm thinking of betting it all on Tiger Woods to win the Masters this weekend.

Congrats Duke fans.

You're just lucky I did not join the group. I finished with 1260 points and would have won the group. Oh Well. I didn't join any real groups this year and I wish I had, I would have won most of them I entered (Too many people picked Kentucky).

Darn. Wish I would have bought a lottery ticket last night. Those numbers they picked were the exact ones I was thinking about!

PS - I lost my bracket - 1) Darn Villanova, 2) I NEVER choose Duke - guess I should about every 5 yrs or so.....

Riiiiight. If you would have joined, I wouldn't have held back the way I did (just to keep it competitive).

Also usually the best time to sell.

Amen,

The best way to know a stock is going to lose value lately is?

For me to buy it.

The last three stocks I have purchased have all done nosedives within a week of me buying them.

No I will not release a list of companies that I plan on investing in.

Never said anyone would automatically get $20,000. Just passing on what the headline said, prick.
