Every year since 1987 I've been in an office pool with about 90 people, $10 a week, $250 weekly prize, $2500 first prize at season end, $2000 for second, etc.
I wired the field last year, going 15-1 the first week, winning Season First prize for the second time. (I won it in 1998) I also finished second once, and had several other finishes in the money.
And I back my choices with real money. Nothing big, but I come out on the plus side almost every year.
Remember where you read it first.
Your first line says you will be surprised if you do not do very well. By this point you must be way past surprised and may damn well be in shock.
