i think this guy is talking about picking the bowl games in football for his son being perfect.
you have a better chance of hitting the powerball twice and getting struck by lightning all in the same month than you do to pick every game right.
after 2 rounds there is not one perfect bracket on yahoo out of 2 or 3 million total.
i think the guy last year had every game except one right. that is still quite impressive. couple years ago some old lady did it by letting her dog pick the winners or something.
play the lottery if you wanna win the big money

John H is wrong and so is your source. Click on it and look one more line down. The odds are 1 in 9 quintillion something. ESPN reported the same number that mathforums.com reported.
A guy did do it lastyear or the year before.

Nope. It's pretty tough to do, but it has been done before. One guy did last year, he picked George Mason to go to the Final four because he thought it was George Washington.

It's basically impossible. That guys son DID NOT do it. The odds are like one in 18.5 quintillion. Basically, a 64 team parlay.....not likely!!! If that kids really did it he would be on national TV. Source below.
