The odds of picking a perfect bracket in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament are so minute that mathematicians can’t agree on the actual estimation of the odds.
Some believe the odds
are 1 in 9.2 quintillion. Picking all 63 games, excluding the First Four, is
next to impossible. Last year, the NCAA said more than 99% of all brackets were
busted by the end of the First Round.
It’s easier to become
an astronaut: 1-3 in 600
Odds of finding a
four-leaf clover: 1 in 10,000
Why bother then? Well, it’s fun to join your “crew” at the
local watering hole to see who’s brackets get busted first and then buy a round
for everybody.
The camaraderie of
friends seated around a table laden with platters of wings and pitchers of beer
makes watching roundball fun─for one shining moment, it’s all on the line.
UPDATE: My brackets are already busted. Texas Southern defeated North Carolina Central 64-46. Dang!
