How much do you start off with for the Tournament?

Question guys:

Last year I started with $100 since it was my first tournament and made up to over $2500. Im thinking about starting with $400 and just taking ML teams that I think will win. Is it pretty easy to take spreads early or what route do you take? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Couldn't resist to put in a Dr. Evil

100 Billion Dollars

Nice job bud

Not normally, but I was looking to take a break a few weeks ago and decided to go BIG on a play and dropped 1/2 of my profits from the season on Maryland 1H +.5 against Duke; won that bet and cashed for that week at $2,619.41 basically from the UMD play, Miami Heat -vs- LAL and a few more large bets (large for me anyways). Now, since last Sunday, I've backed off considerably and made a little over $550 this past week not including a future on SDSU to win the MVC at 8/1.

Good shit on turning $100 into twenty times more. Interested in how you accomplished that with mL's. Two team parlays; If-Action or just straight plays? I think several of the higher seeded teams will be overvalued and I actually prefer taking the lower seeded teams in the range from #10 - #14 when getting at least +10 or more. Looking at NMSU, Murray St, Oakland, Wofford, and Montana this year. Really like Wofford...they have an outstanding ATS record the past few years when getting +10 or more. I also think the OU Grizzlies can create a potential scare for Pitt if Nelson stays out of foul trouble.

GL with your plays and hope you decide to post them in the forum. 

Good Luck Buff

Justice- David Justice was probably one of the most underrated players in history IMO. Great player. Anyways, I really can't honestly remember what I did last year. Im pretty sure I put $100 on these second round games in a parlay: Louisville, Kansas, UConn, Missouri(sweated that game), Memphis, Pitt, Nova, Duke, UNC, Cuse, Zaga and maybe one or two others. I may have not even taken all of these, but I remember doing an 8 teamer and a 5 teamer  with this sort of magnitude and being up over a grand.

 I then threw it all on the UNC ML over Gonzaga and then Oklahoma over Cuse.

 I guess I got lucky? But I just had a feeling for the  games also. A lot of chalk I did but they all won....
