What is SmartBracket?
The best way to win your pool
SmartBracket works by capitalizing on opportunities to get relative points, which arise when teams are over- or undervalued. The secret is—there is a difference between how good a team actually is, and how good your friends think they are—and we take advantage of that difference!
SmartBracket evaluates opportunities for relative points in all 9 quintillion possible brackets (in less than a second!), to make selections that give your bracket highest chance of success.
SmartBracket is powered by Rapid Recursive, which consists of patented and patent-pending technology.
