anyone else do a bracket at...

Heritage? Its always tough to do their brackets but I love their setup. Makes people work alot harder than with typical brackets. I started yesterday in 1452nd place and woke up this morning in about the 125th spot. Last year I won $250 there. Just curious how others were doing.

HERITAGE MARCH MADNESS POOL

I'm not doing as good as you with this kind of format of putting a rating on each team.

You are doing really well and have a good chance of coming in the money.

I did cash in with BETJAMAICA in one of their last MARCH MADNESS pools before they closed down.

HERITAGE is offering $1 million for a perfect score of 3,381 points.

That really CRACKED ME UP!

The odds of picking a perfect bracket are:

9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 1 which is 9.2 Quintillion

1,000,000,000
(1 billion) dollars is what QUICKEN LOANS is offering for a perfect bracket and it is dwarfed by the true odds.

What cracks me up is that the HERITAGE format requires you to not only pick a perfect bracket but each WINNER has to have a HIGHER rating than the LOSER.

The odds of doing that are BEYOND ASTRONOMICAL!

I'm not even sure how you can calculate the odds for that.

But you can't blame HERITAGE - they have no desire whatsoever of handing out $1 million.

Best of luck with your MARCH MADNESS entry and let's hope we can both come in the money.

After the Louisville game...I am now 34 points out of the top ten. So I am freakin stoked! I would love to crack that top ten. Good luck on your brackets.
