This is much easier to win at then Football squares because there are no bad numbers/scores in Basketball.
How it works -
You will get a winning number (top of the grid) and a losing number (side of the grid).
Every time the final score of every game, from the 1st round through the Championship, hits, you win. Example: If you have the winning number of 3 and the losing number of 8, every game that the winning team ends with a 3 and the losing team ends with an 8, you win (73-68, 83-68, etc)
Payouts -
$20 x 100 squares = $2000 minus the site fee. TBA (last year it was $30).
If it's $30 again this year, and the pot is $1970, the payouts would be as follows:
1st Round - $20 to every winner (32 winners x $20 = $640)
2nd Round - $25 to every winner (16 winners x $25 = $400)
Sweet 16 - $30 to every winner (8 winners x $30 = $240)
Elite 8 - $60 to every winner (4 winners x $60 = $240)
Final 4 - $100 to each winner (2 winners x $100 = $200)
Championship - $250 to the winner
$640 + $400 + $240 + $240 + $200 + $250 = $1970
