The main question is if you only got into one or the other, which would it be the Nassau's (example- high game) or brackets and why?

The house here runs nassau's(Hdcp high game, series plus scratch ones) and brackets. nassaus are a $1 a game ($3) and $3 for brackets (payout 1st-$15 2nd-$5 house gets-$4).

I was talking with the desk people about brackets and they said how on the ladies night ( full house) they only do the nassaus. the women wont do brackets.
I said I wonder why. I felt I have done better in brackets than I ever have in the nassau's.
Like on my mens league (full house). I gave up on the nassaus (I only got in hdcp stuff no scratch) to many guys scratch scores beat my hdcp scores ( I ave in the 190's) unless I just happen to have a real good night.I Just about never won in them.
But in brackets for the most part Ive been winning with good scores and with really bad ones and ive at least got my money back or was ahead.
So ive been feeling that brackets are a lot better than nassaus.
Say a nassau has 32 bowlers enter that means you have to beat 31 other bowlers to win. But in one bracket you would only have to beat 3 bowlers to win.
Now I know the nassau would pay out more say $32 a game total $96 if you win all 3. The bracket only $15 but I think you have a better chance of winning and if you won more often in the long run you'd make out better. Also if you got into more than one bracket your odds get better I think plus more payout if you win.
Ive been getting into 4 to 5 brackets a week and have at least got my money back. In the nassaus I was just feeding the pot.

As a extra question for brackets how would you want to be paired at the start? by Average or Randomly or Alphabetically?
