Add the values of the 6 balls into one Sum, counting 49 as zero, If the sum is Even brother 1 ones, if the sum is odd brother 2 wins.

Sorry, that doesn't work. Brother 1 would win 25C6+(25C4 24C2)+(25C2 24C4)+24C6 = 6990896 times out of 13983816 (ignoring the seventh number). That's 49.9928%, 1012/13983816 less than 1/2.
