are you asking the chances of getting a perfect pool?
well if thats the case its timple:
the odds of predicting agame correctly is 1/2.
with 64 games the chances of predicting them all correctly are (1/2)^64. So 1/2^64 is the simple answer.
of course, the odds of predicting a game is not exactly 1/2. The early round 1-16 games are much easier than that but you get the general idea.

There are 63 games in the tournament excluding the play-in game. That means you would have to multiply 63 by 62 by 61.....all the way until you are down to 2. I don't have a calculator big enough so I can't tell you the answer but thats how you get it!
