8 років тому

The probability of completing a perfect NCAA tournament bracket is less than the combined odds of landing a hole-in-one, winning the Powerball and being struck by lightning multiple times. So how did Sam Holtz, the 2015 winner of ESPN's March Madness Bracket Challenge, beat out almost 12 million other entries and score a near-perfect bracket? For one: he didn’t watch any college basketball before the tournament. A Great Big Story told with our friends at Bleacher Report.
Coverage continues on TNT, TBS, Trutv, CBS and March Madness Live: www.ncaa.com/march-madness-live

It's been a slow, painful decline since I started getting more into college basketball.

They tried to get this guy to make some scientific formula on how to make correct predictions. He had the right answer though - “just pick who you think is gonna win”

Reminds me of the time I won my school’s March madness bracket by searching up “March madness bracket” and copying the first one that showed up. I had never watched a college basketball before that besides going to see URI play at home a couple times.
@stevegoldson67
@stevegoldson67 3 роки тому
Actually, based on previous March Madnesses, if you pick the higher seed to win every time (with the favorites being picked in the final four), there’s a 1-in-some 10s of millions that you get a perfect bracket.

@@owennielsen9792 this is based on how games have gone in the past and not mathematical analyses. So you’re right.
@zanti4132
@zanti4132 Рік тому
I'd put it at somewhere between a billion to one and a trillion to one. That number in the quintillions is the number of possible brackets, but obviously some are more likely that others. Some will say you have to pick upsets because there are always upsets, but to know WHICH upsets to pick you'd have to be a time traveler.

I hate all you “hometown heroes”. Just because you’re not from a city doesn’t mean you can’t like the team. I’ve never set foot in Los Angeles let alone the western US, and they are my favourite hockey team, and second favourite baseball, basketball and football teams. (In front of Toronto for hockey, and behind them for everything else, since that’s where I’m from) but I would still die for my team any day of the week.

@jordanphillips1348 5 років тому
He said he doesn’t watch much college basketball. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t turn on ESPN now and then. Izzo is already in the hall of fame and still an active coach. Not like you need deep research to hear the name. My gf hates sports and knows exactly who big names in random sports are. If you truly think the kid is lying and did tons of research, that’s your opinion. To me, it doesn’t matter if he did or didn’t. Because obviously research doesn’t translate into bracket success. “Experts” get it wrong every year
