One day somebody said to (let's say the person's name is Mary) "Hey Mary, would you like to get into the March madness pool?" "What is that? Mary said. "It's for the college basketball playoffs, teams advance in the brackets and as the teams advance if the team you picked to win advances you earn points. The person with the most points at the end of the tournament wins the pool". "So how do I know what teams to pick?" Mary says, "Look at their records, consider that there will be some upsets and go with your gut" says Mary's friend. "So what is this going to cost me?" Mary says, "It's $10 to enter".. "OK, I'm in". Mary has to be very secretive in her pool playing as it's against "company policy" to participate in pool's (sticks in the mud!). Mary entered the pool last year and was tied for first going into the Final Four, then she lost in the last few games, but she found a new enjoyment in watching college basketball that she never had before. So this year, Mary has entered again, gone with her gut, picked some favorites and some upsets, paid her $10, and now will begin the sneaking around to others to see how they are doing in their picks.
Hope Mary has better luck in her picks this year!
