The probability of completing a perfect NCAA tournament bracket is less than the combined odds of landing a hole-in-one, winning the Powerball and being struck by lightning multiple times. So how did Sam Holtz, the 2015 winner of ESPN’s March Madness Bracket Challenge, beat out almost 12 million other entries and score a near-perfect bracket? For one: he didn’t watch any college basketball before the tournament. A Great Big Story told with our friends at Bleacher Report.

went to school w sam, bummer he didnt get the prize.
LMAO……this boy was paid to make this video. Don't believe me? I have PROOF
FAKE
Bruh wtf was the point of this entire video
I have to say I usually don’t get a chance to watch much ball, but the beat bracket I ever had was my junior year of high school when I watched a ton of basketball. And it actually did help to not guess a lot.
My bracket was one of the best in Baton Rouge.
I want his seat. I don't even play baseball
The odds of someone winning March madness again like that will never happen again in the generation or the next or the next or the next. It pure luck that he guessed and study how he thought each game will play out
Just pick the winning teams 4head
So pick answers like Slumdog Millionaire. Got it.
it would be nice if they could explain to non Americans what the hell a march madness bracket is.
What did he win?
Seinfeld would be proud of this video, if you know you know.
Tf was this video. Here watch this kid who randomly picked college basketball bla bla bla
1:28
You would think if you were a “bracket expert” you would actually know the answer smh
Hi
He lived a perfect series of events that lead him to his bracket.
Why does Sammy’s mom sound and kinda look like Kevin McCallister’s mom
So he got lucky…
He's a baseball guy…all I needed to see….he's inherently smarter for that reason
