Hmmm... That's a ZERO chance, sir. Still, I am wondering why they are already saying his picks are perfect, and the tournament isn't over yet. Wait until the effin' end. Let's see how it ends.
There are 63 games. If you assume 50/50 for each team (which these supposed "odds" do), the odds are 2^63. For this kid, it's 2^48 that he'd make it this far. But that assumes you give everyone an even chance to win each game. If you assume all the 1 & 2 seeds will beat the 15s & 16's, it drops to 2^40 to be perfect this far - assuming, again, a 50/50 chance at each of the other games. But no one actually assumes 50/50 is accurate in reality, so all these "odds of a perfect bracket" thing are total nonsense.
you can bet on the spread or you can straight bet team A or B but your payout will vary betting a favorite to win outright will not yield you a 1:1 return so betting 10 dollars on UK to win would net me 8 bucks, but betting on 10 on Cornell to win would get me 12 and so forth. I'll probably do a 2-3 game parlay
You know what I mean... it ain't perfect until the end... it's not over until the fat Purdue lady sings.
Saw on another Message Board that some of the comments said you could go and change your bracket after the game was over wherever he did his brackets at.
Here's a few of the emails we already received about that: I just tried it in a pool that I am the manager of, and games can be changed after they have been played. If you change the pick, save it, and refresh the page (or re-open it), it looks as if the correct team was the team that was picked from the beginning. Whether CBS has a log of all changes is something that I do not know. But, if I desired, I could change one of my brackets that I entered before the tournament started, and it would look like the one that Herrmann made. I don't want to insinuate that I think he did change his picks, but the possibility is there. - Tom
You all are missing the part where it said he is in a bracket where he can modify his bracket after the games have been played lol
