Just kidding, of course. The odds of getting all your March Madness picks wrong is pretty much non-existent. If you picked randomly, the odds of missing on every game is over 1 in 4 billion. You might be scratching your head thinking the odds should be even higher, but remember: You only need to get the first round entirely wrong to ensure the whole bracket is 100% wrong.
1 in 4 billion is still light-years better than picking a perfect bracket, though. Picking a perfect bracket is pretty much impossible:
I’m starting to think Warren Buffet was holding out on us. A pay off of 1 billion dollars on a 1 in 2.4 trillion odd bet seems a little light.

Now that sounds like a legitimate gamble.

And we did that by using our top-secret, soon-to-be-released online designer to create the “Perfect Bracket” wristband. It celebrates the impossible by putting the odds into perspective:
That’s a heck of a lot of zeroes…
