Surprising underdogs, unforeseeable defeats and crucial buzzer beaters – the March Madness is just around the corner! The NCAA Tournament is one of the greatest sports events around the world – not least because the odds of picking the perfect March Madness Bracket are pretty low. By pretty low, we mean really really really low. Whether you root for the number one seed or the rank outsider, the chances of getting it right are 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 – I do not even know how to pronounce this number, that’s 9.2 quintillion.
Assessing the tournament in advance and knowing about College basketball will probably help you achieve one tiny, tiny improvement, but either rolling the dices, flipping the coin, making wild guesses or analyzing previous data will not significantly increase your chances of predicting the exact series. Actually, it is more likely to get struck by lightning (1 in 3 000), shoot a hole-in-one (1 in 12 500), get a Royal Flush in Texas Hold’em AND beat someone who has four aces (1 in 165 million) or win the Powerball Jackpot (1 in 292,201,338). Having that in mind, you do not have to be a basketball player, NBA & NCAA enthusiast or even bandwagon-boy in order to participate in our super awesome KICKZ MADNESS 2017 BRACKET CHALLENGE! You, your beloved grandma, even your foolish dog, all of you will have round about the same odds of betting the perfect bracket. Get in on the madness, make the impossible possible – nobody on this whole planet has had the correct bracket in forever ever, forever ever – and take the chance to win a five year sneaker supply from KICKZ.COM. Yes, you heard that right – one sneaker, every month, for five years, making it SIXTY sneakers for you!
Good luck with your perfect bracket – you will need it, after all, you need to beat the odds of 1 in 9.2 quintillion. No worries though, there are consolation prizes for the five best non-perfect brackets:
- One pair of shoes of your choice
- €100 voucher
- €50 voucher
- €25 voucher
- €10 voucher
