Hey man, never said I was going to actually take time to fuck with this, I was just saying it would be awesome to win.

what's the record on # of times a newbie gets clowned in a 24 hour period without galacon "recommending treatment"?

put your um, "employees" on that stat, moe.

just another thread where you look like a dipshit. keep 'em comin', bro.

Their odds of 1/9quintillion are way off.

If you factored in the odds of the games, the chances are much higher.

There have been several perfect brackets over the years and those people didn't beat a billion billions in odds.

Yea they are off, but not in the direction you'd think.

Link to a news article or something?

Edit: a quick Google search shows that there are no known instances of anyone, anywhere (unless you believe some story about an autistic Chicago kid), ever picking a perfect bracket. You can be sure if they had it would be have been published everywhere, and if they had placed a bet they would've probably bankrupted whatever sportsbook they bet with. So meh.

Edit edit: and it appears the Chicago kid only got the first two rounds correctly, which is still supposed to be 3.something billion to 1 odds, but flopped out in the third round.

How many variations are there?

It's so fucking simple to get that billion... Make a variant bracket for everyone in the pool, have everyone agree to split the winning with the pool, boom, instant payday for no work.

Just another retarded thing said by LukeP...

You really gotta stop believing those handicapper ads.

But it costs nothing to fill out, so you should probably do it.

It already cost me 2 minutes reading that article. Also, do you know how many people die in traffic on their way to purchasing a lottery ticket? Probably more than who win the jackpot.

Aren't there only like 3,500 male NCAA basketball players? They could all collude and see a payout of over a quarter-million each. It will never happen, but that would be fucking hilarious.

This sounds more plausible than guessing correctly.

Man, why is it that everyone is saying Buffett is offering a billion? He's not. Berkshire is insuring Quickbook's contest. I bet QB is so mad that they aren't getting the attention for this. It feels a little bit like advertising "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's" insurance company and saying that they paid out a million dollars.
