Each year experts, odds makers, the polls, team records, tournament seeds, and the eyeball test mislead March Madness fans filling office pool brackets. 128 Billion to 1: Ten Steps to Beat the Odds and Win Your NCAA Tourney Office Pool by Mike Nemeth, explains the secrets and inner workings of the NCAA Tournament to exponentially increase one's odds of filling a winning bracket. It was written for basketball fans who want to understand why they don't often win their office pool.
128 Billion to 1 is a simple, yet ingenious guide to the way the NCAA Championship works, and explains the factors that best predict the outcome. Paramount among the factors is an accurate assessment of relative team strength to correct misleading polls and erroneous tournament committee selections and seedings.
Using analytics, understandable mathematics and a dash of ingenious reasoning, Nemeth exposes the need for a new set of statistical measures to explain the outcomes of basketball games. The new statistics accurately rank each team entering the NCAA Tournament so that fans can make informed picks in their tournament brackets. The accurate rankings can be found at nemosnumbers.com/basketball-rankings/.
However, the tournament isn't designed to reward the most deserving team with a championship. Nemeth explains how the flawed tournament format induces chaos and produces a random survivor. He then reveals ten rules to cope with the chaos and improve the odds of predicting sixty-three game winners with far greater accuracy.
