The thing is if you always pick the better teams you will lose because of upsets. If you just pick some crazy bracket you will lose because a lot of your crazy picks won't happen. If you are some espn analyst you say that so and so team is a bad match up for so and so higher seeded team but upsets happen.Comment -
Almost impossible to hit the first round perfect let alone the whole bracketComment -
i dont know if this is a joke or not but about 3 or 4 years ago an autistic boy picked a perfect bracket. His brother was into CBB and had him pick one for fun and he picked a perfect.Originally posted by boeing powerComment -
Ya I remember that and just googled it, he got the first two rounds correct.Originally posted by Mitchell88Comment -
Yup.
Some kid from Nebraska had a perfect bracket a few yrs ago and won 1million.Comment -

Yeah and they also found out the kid was making his bracket as the games were being played............He did have a perfect bracket cause there was a glitch that allowed him to do his bracket as the games were being played............Comment -
A few years ago there were almost no upsets in the first round or two. This Asian guy I worked with thought he was so smart because he was in the lead. I don't think he picked a single upset. I hate people like that.Comment -
When sponsors put up a million bucks for a perfect bracket, they know the odds are as bad as the lottery.Comment -
*Worse than the lottery. Over 8 Quintillion different options.Originally posted by seaborneqComment -
Begs the question, whats the biggest parlay ever hit, in terms of teams, not money won. 30 team? 50 team?Comment -
Nobody has ever filled out a perfect bracket.Originally posted by Sol DiabloComment -
Thats a great question.
You would think atleast once someone had too.
but i wonder what is the biggest parlay hit ever recorded?Shut your mouth when you talk to Me!Comment -
I'm sure some dumbass who filled out 100 brackets had a perfect one.
Ive only heard stories of 6 figure parlays idk about the most teams ever.Comment -
As has been mentioned, TT warrior has filled out a perfect bracket every year since the field expanded to 64 teams. That is, up until a few years ago - where he decided to call it quits, and now only trains others in the the mystical art of bracket perfection.Comment -
There are so many goddamn brackets submitted it happens every now and then.
Some people listed ones above but I specifically remember a girl doing it one year. The teams she didn't know about she picked based on totally arbitrary shit like favorite jersey color or cooler sounding name.Comment -
Check out this ridiculous promotion from 5Dimes that basically admits this is impossible
- Any player who guesses all 63 games correct will receive a BONUS of $10,000,000

There is no recorded document like the above poster put its like 1 in 9.2 quintillion. The autistic kid had the first 2 rounds perfect which I think I read the odds at 1 in like 13 million of doing that. He had Purdue winning it all on his bracket so we know he didn't have a perfect bracket.Comment -
whats the odds ?Comment -
Guess I was wrong and no one has officially done it.Comment -
1vs16 108-0
2vs15 104-4
3vs14 92-16
4vs13 85-23
etc.... Odds are nowhere near 1 in 9.2 quintillion. That may be true to flip heads 63 times in a row with a fair coin but not in sports.
id put fair odds around 1 in every 50-75 SBR brackets being perfectComment -

Only one i read n heard about was a few years ago when all 4 no. 1 seeds made the final four.
There was 1 person who was perfect up till then but he had UCLA winning it all and they lost in the semis.Comment -
There are no documented cases of anyone ever filling out a perfect bracket. And it might not happen for a long, long time. According to DePaul math professor Jeff Bergen, the odds of someone without any basketball knowledge randomly picking teams and filling out a perfect bracket are 9.2 quintillion to one. If you have some basketball knowledge the odds are still not in your favor - 128 billion to one. In 2012, Fox Sports offered $1 million to anyone who filled out a perfect bracket.
You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning and winning the lottery in the same day.

5dimes promotion says all that I needed to hear about a perfect bracket. Makes the lottery look like a trip to the state fair. Doable after a few tries.Comment -
Good luck getting paid with the perfect bracket.
Odds of that are even greater. lolComment -
The sponsors have it covered. 20-30 years to pay it off, in. which the sponsors pull a betisland and come back under another bogus alias after a few payments. Problem solved. Winner gets a little and sponsors lose little.Originally posted by k13Comment -
no1 has ever done it
heard on the radio this morning actually that a professor from MIT said is was worse than a 10 quintillion to 1 odds to pick every game perfect...
exactly why all these books and other companies can offer whatever amount of money they want to for a perfect bracket...because its impossibleComment -
pretty sure that turned out to be a hoaxOriginally posted by Sol DiabloComment -
Speaking of doing a bracket...do the games tomorrow and wednesday count towards it or starting on thursday?Comment -
