The Top Ten ways I think you can win Quicken Loans Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge

What could you do with one billion dollars? Think about it I will give you a second to think. You could do a whole lot right! Someone may not have to think about it soon. Someone out there may win one billion dollars by winning Quicken Loans Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge. Quicken Loans is offering the chance to win one billion dollars if you pick a perfect bracket in the NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament. Picking a perfect bracket is beyond hard. Experts have thrown out many examples of how impossible it is to create a perfect bracket. This is thegqlife and we don't believe in impossible below are the top ten ways I think you could win the one billion dollars.

1. Track all the players and coaches social media pages- Search through their instagrams, vines, facebooks, twitter and whatever else is out there. If the lead point guard just broke up with his girlfriend he may be on the way to implosion. Use the information that is out there to make your picks.

2. EA Sports NCAA College Basketball 2010- This game is 4 years old and it is still $29.99. Why? It is because Electronic Arts hasn't made a new college basketball game since then. However you can still download rosters on eBay and other sites that are up to date. Simulate the field of teams and go with your gut!

3. Pick upset games- The fact that upset games exist is why brackets are so hard to predict look at the games critically and pick the upset games.

4. Find out the teams with the moat NBA prospects- Players want to get chosen high in the draft you do that by winning games in the tournament. They want to ride Ferrari during spring classes. So go with the teams with the most future pro players.

5. Don't listen to bracket experts- This one is easy because if they were always right this contest would not exist.

6Watch for cocky twitter posts- This may be redundant but if a player says for instance tweets, "where is Wichita State are they a real school!!lol #fakeschool" know that the school dissed will not lose, this generation respects twitter more than their parents.

7. Free throws- Free throws win championships, if a team shoots a high free throw percentage then that team will win in a pinch. College teams are coached to foul weaker free throw shooters. So pick accordingly.

8. Never relay on dominate athletes with no help- I like Jabari Parker that plays for Duke University a lot he can take over a game and be dominant on the court. However he may not be able to overcome the petty basketball tactics that is employed at this level. Don't be a fan of your favorite player and let that influence how you pick out your brackets.

9. Don't put your Alma Mater in the championship- Yes you went to Western Michigan University picking them to win the championship may not be the best thing to do. Don't let your school pride stop you from getting that one billion dollars

10. Pull out your calculator- If you use an equation that can figure out all probable outcomes you can figure out who will win where and how. Good luck with that one thought because you can never account for how humans will react from moment to moment let alone a basketball game.

Any of these 10 things may turn you into a billionaire. The question is will you share with the winnings with thegqlife?
