3) How it Works

As always, we look to do an unconventional scoring system to make it more interesting. I have always hated (with a burning passion) how stupid the standard scoring is for march madness brackets. You could get every single pick right in the first two rounds but if you don’t get the winner right you have no chance.

To make things more interesting, we are doing a “Seed * Round” bracket. For example, if you pick #1 seed Duke to beat #16 seed Siena in the first round (aka round 1), you would earn [ 1 x 1 = 1 point]. However, if you want to be a psychopath and pick #16 Siena to beat #1 Duke in Round 1, you would earn [ 16 x 1 = 16 points].

It is impossible to know with 100% certainty any of the matchups beyond round 1, but let’s say you pick #9 TCU to make it to the sweet sixteen. Regardless of who they play in Round 2, if #9 TCU wins the second round, you would win [9 x 2 = 18 points].

If you pick a number #1 seed to win the entire thing, you would only earn [ 1 x 6 = 6 points] from them winning the championship game, AKA round 6. However, you would have earned 1,2,3,4,5 and then 6 points for each of their wins in Rounds 1-6 for a total of 21 points. If you picked #2 seed Houston to win the entire thing and they did, you would have earned 2,4,6,8,10, and 12 points for all of their wins throughout the tournament for a total of 42 points.

I saw this scoring system on a reddit thread and thought it would be interesting. I like how it encourages you to pick upsets and makes it possible that someone can win the entire pool without getting the winner right if they crush the beginning rounds. If that sounds confusing (it is confusing) or if you are someone who doesn’t care about sports, just pick randomly or have someone help you out!

 

4) Prizes

The base prize pool is $1,500, which will be split among the top 5 finishers as follows: 

1st = $500

2nd = $400

3rd = $300

4th = $200

5th = $100

There is also a payout multiplier based on how many people you have referred to Boost and whether or not you are a Boost client.

Non Boost Clients = 0.5x payout

0 referrals = 0.75x payout

1 referrals = 1x payout

2 referrals = 1.25x payout

3 referrals = 1.5x payout

4 referrals = 1.75x payout

5 referrals = 2x payout

6 referrals = 2.25x payout

7 referrals = 2.5x payout

8 referrals = 2.75x payout

9 referrals = 3x payout

10 referrals = 4x payout (capped at 4x)

Ex: If you are invited to this pool by a friend are not a Boost client and you get first, you would only receive $250 (0.5 x $500). If you are a Boost client who has referred 3 people to Boost and got second, you would get $600 (1.5 x $400)

 

5) Charity

Additionally, Boost will donate $100 to the charity of their choosing for each of the top 5 finishers. Since Boost started these monthly giveaways in 2025, $9,095 has been donated to Charity!

 

6) Have fun!

As most of you know we are exclusively word of mouth at Boost and the door is always open for new clients.

I know it is really tough to convince people that Boost is legit (share your dashboard with them! You can find your dashboard on the home page of the Boost app) but if you think of it, try to spread the word. The average client takes home around $4,600 from doing it.

The biggest reason why people don't sign up for Boost is because they think it is illegal or a scam. We have had recent success in a confiscation of funds case where a casino operating in PA attempted to withhold winnings based on an individual's gameplay being associated with Boost.

Depending on your specific life situation $4,600 might not seem like a lot, but that could be make or break for somebody if they had an unavoidable medical bill, student loan repayments beginning, unexpected home repair, etc. We just want to spread the love to as many people as possible. 1,278 clients and counting!
