Billion Dollar Bracket
Who had Dayton, North Dakota State, Harvard AND Mercer in the billion dollar bracket?

Sure as hell wasn't me.

Actually, at this point there are still six perfect brackets left.

I had Dayton, ND State, and Harvard. But no way I saw Mercer winning on my bracket.

It seems that only 4 days into the tournament that the $1 billion is safe for this year.

RE: Billion Dollar Bracket
The odds of a perfect bracket are one in nine quintillion. You have better odds of winning the lottery in back to back drawings.

Perfect brackets are down to 3:

https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.c...et/4990192

https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.c...et/3024442

https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.c...ket/238377

2 of the 3 disagree on North Carolina vs. Providence currently in progress. The two that agree on UNC, disagree on Iowa State vs. NC Central.

After tonight, there will be at most: 1 perfect bracket.

All 3 remaining perfect brackets have George Washington over Memphis. Memphis leads by 10 with 11:38 left.

You have better odds of being attacked by a polar bear and a regular bear on the same day. 03-lol

And what are the odds of being attacked by a "cubby bear" at a World Series game in Chicago?

Ask a Cubs fan and they'd probably tell you theres a better chance of a perfect bracket than there is of Wrigley hosting a World Series game anytime in the next century.

RE: Billion Dollar Bracket
For what it's worth, the quintillion-level perfect bracket is for a randomly generated bracket to win. Based on a sensible strategy odds are more like 1 in 125 billion...so, someone will win the billion this millenium maybe, unless chalk kicks tremendous butt one year.

RE: Billion Dollar Bracket
I think the top 20 people still get $100,000 each even if there isn't a big winner.

They still give that out regardless if someone won the billion. If someone had won the billion, they were going to give $100,000 to the 20 closest to the billion dollar bracket.

Nope. He said "I THINK the top 20 still..." I basically said "they DO, whether or not someone won the billion."

RE: Billion Dollar Bracket
Add Dayton over Syracuse. Nobody running big bracket contests has to worry about their money by now.

Gotta love it when the chalk gets beat.
