Why My Mom's Bracket Beats My Dad's Bracket

March Madness is exciting for even the most casual sports fans: anybody can make a pick and it creates a rivalry among friends, families, and work colleagues.

My mom and dad who are in their mid 70s have enjoyed our annual family competition over the past 10 years. In the early years, my mom typically finished close to the bottom while my dad finished in the middle of the road.

But a few years ago, my mom suddenly became an annual top-three finisher. I asked her how she does it?

She said, "I used to pick based on the traditional reputation, the mascot, or the team color - and obviously that was not working. But now, I review your father's picks, identify his abitrary ones, research them, and then make a more informed choice."

So, the next time you review the bracket of a friend, consider identifying 3-4 picks that are their "boldest predictions" and call them out on it - and then go to www.mybetbook.com and track these bold claims.

Just Book It!
