Had a coworker friend who didn’t follow sports but won the office sports pool (to the frustration of the coworkers who pushed the pool). They badgered him to join, figuring he was an easy mark. He didn’t know anything about college basketball – just picked game winners randomly. Didn’t hurt that several big name schools got upset early during the tournament that year.
He had randomly picked two of the teams who made it into the Final Four, which was enough to beat everybody else. The guys who pushed the pool were even madder when he had no idea how well his picks had done (until they told him).
