March Madness Office Pools

Well it's that time again, when the office pools come out of the woodwork and we all decide to throw down $20 for that $5 per bracket pool run by the gambler in the office. Knowing all along that the woman who fills out only one bracket will rake in about $300. She will make her picks based on the prettiest uniforms, mascot, or the sheer fact that she thinks that a player or coach is attractive.

Why do year in and year out throw do we throw our money down the crapper on this tournament knowing that it's just that unpredictable. It's not because a #16 seed will knock off a #1, there's like a 1% chance that will ever happen. Unless you think Central Connecticut State has a fighting chance?

So double think your picks this year and don't make your picks on what you saw during the regular season, that's out the window as of tomorrow night. Make sure you use the furthest thing from logic to make, pick a few upsets, and keep your eyes glued like you do every year hoping to get your payday.
