Make a Million This March

Ladies and gentleman, after a long year of waiting, the NCAA Tournament and March Madness are back. For a moment, put down your copy of the health care bill, forget that your Toyota may have a mind of its own, and pick up that bracket. It's time to revel in the suspense, gloating, and competition that surrounds every great bracket challenge.

For those of you that are looking for a pool to get involved in, look no further. I've picked a few of my favorite trader-friendly pools.

Lightspeed Financial- $1,000,000 Bracket Challenge. With weekly prizes and a slew of cash amounts due to get paid out, this may be your best opportunity to make a little money off this tournament- without duping the elderly woman in HR to buy into your office pool.

Abnormal Returns Bracket- Chance to win a subscription to StockTwits premium, some books, and other gift packages. Sure, it's not a million dollars, but it's just another chance to compete with a total stranger and get furious at college athletes you've never heard of.

Whichever pool you get involved in, from online to in-office, I wish you all the best of luck. I'm looking forward to an upset filled tournament full of good, healthy competition.

Personally, I think Pittsburgh is going to beat out totally overrated Syracuse and will win the tournament as a long shot... but nobody's really asking me.
