March Madness is upon us in the states, and the sports pools are everywhere. I don't follow sports very much, but do jump into pools just for the fun of it. Since I don't follow the teams, I have no idea how to pick the winners, so have developed weird ways to pick my teams.
I won a football pool once by picking the teams that had more "environmentally friendly" names. For example, the Bears had to beat the Packers. The Eagles had to beat the Rams, but only because eagles are more endangered than rams. And of course Redskins over Steelers.
I have a friend that has won pools by picking her favorite jersey colors.
For March Madness, I always pick heartland farm boy based teams over others, and next based on if I like the city or the area in the country. I've come close to winning using this method.
What method do you use to pick your teams in sports pools?
