That would take a LOT of accounts.
Just for yesterday, there were 65536 possible combinations of results. For the first round, there would be 4,294,967,296 possible outcomes.
Sure you could eliminate some of the games as "obvious" but which ones and how many??? There were some big upsets. Even if you elimiate a large number of the most obvious games, you're still at millions of combinations.
As for the entire tourney, there are 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 possible combinations.
I don't think anyone will be setting up that many accounts, even with some hacking involved.
