That's true. But only a vanishingly small fraction of the possible brackets has come up in history. Similarly, the lottery ticket 1 2 3 4 5 6 has probably never won. Since all lottery tickets are equally likely, it still makes sense to avoid it, since if it did you have to do more sharing. (Similarly people tend to play their birthdays, so number that can be dates should be avoided.) It is more fun here, because all brackets are not equally likely. So you want to pick your most likely brackets, but only if you don't think others will be playing the same bracket.
