March Madness: Perfect Brackets Vanish, Billions in Bets
After the first round, perfect brackets are scarce, with only a few hundred left out of tens of millions. Mens brackets fared poorly, with just 195 perfect picks from 26 million submissions. Womens brackets did better, with over 675,000 still perfect. Odds of a perfect bracket are astronomical, but a prediction market offers a billion dollars for a perfect run, with 83 people chasing it. Record $3.3 billion in legal wagers are expected on the mens tournament, while womens betting surges due to star power. The madness continues, promising more upsets and thrills.
