There are different ways to calculate the odds of a perfect bracket. Simplest way is to just consider each game a coinflip. So the odds are 2 to the exponent of the number of games (63). But a more realistic method takes into account that many games have a clear odds-on favorite and, in order to get that perfect bracket, you are bound to have more of those than dogs. Like you are going to have all the 1 seeds in the first round. That ain't no coinflip. Now we all know upsets happen in other spots so what you need is some kind of figure that represents the average odds of a tournament winner.

There is no definitive answer but the figure I have seen that I trust most as the odds of a perfect bracket:

eleventy jillion to one.

IAG, no problem! Don't get too excited but with the Contest cause usually the 1st weekend being in 1st or last doesn't matter! I bet you luv the betting high that March Madness is giving you?

Actually got more of a high from just the game than the betting.... I don't bet like I used to..not even close. That being said I will be upset with myself if the Bears and Mercer both cover. But yeah, one of the few times a year I really do like the excitement. Still wish we would have thrown $5 toward worst bracket lol

A pee portal would be pretty freaking sweet

We need someone to test the blow dryer method, preferably on video. It's a genius-level idea.

Just stopped in at the store and they had my regular brand of hare goop which had disappeared for awhile. They still don't have it at my main store as of last night but alternate store had it. The packaging has changed slightly. Maybe that accounts for the interruption in supply.

And in fact it is on sale for damn near half price. :

I bought everything they had on the shelf (three.)

That will last for awhile. I still have this other stuff that I bought (minus a couple applications.) I suspect I could have adapted to it eventually but now, I'll prolly just chuck it.


The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.

I'm a major leaner. One hand braced on wall with posterior at a 45 to ceiling. Got some pretty good aim. Right eye shut on a hangover morning takes even more skill.

+1 Couldn't agree more! I never can get a good flow going during it, maybe it's my age!

What, is it bad form to quote an image or something?

 

[Mudcat]

Perhaps when it is such a gigantic image and there is so little actual reply to go along with the big matzo ball of a quote.

 

[Gilmartin]

Yeah, fair enough. Needed to give MrX his props, though. I apologize to all of you for the unnecessary wear and tear on your mouse scroll wheels.
