Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 warren Buffett is going to make money off of this. One of his insurers is getting easy money in premiums from quicken. Then in the unlikely event somebody wins, its probably re-insured through one of his reinsurance companies. The insurer gets a lump sum, slow pays the billion dollars over 40 years, and in the meantime he reinvests the rest of the cash in another company, basically making more money and getting a free loan.
KD in CA Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Imagine trying to arrange the hedge if you picked the first 62 games right.
ChasBB Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Sounds like a data-gathering ploy to me -- every submission will ask for personal information, of course.
Gordio Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Virtually impossible to achieve also. I think one lady from Wisconsin did this 5 or 6 years ago but I also read you have a better chance of winning 3 mega million lotteries in a row then accurately picking every game right in the tournament.

I think that's why they are offering $1,000,000,000 if someone does.
NoSaint Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I think that's why they are offering $1,000,000,000 if someone does. do you know where i can find some ways to take home $1B with likewise minimal skill, but a lot less luck required? and no personal information required for sign up.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) The odds are better for anyone surviving the 1st colonization of Mars in 2025 than someone to pick the NCAA bracket 100% correct. Edited January 22, 2014 by BuffaloBillsForever
4merper4mer Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I agree it will be hard to pick all the games right. If you pick half of them right do you get $500 million?
Beerball Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Don't forget that billion dollar bracket!
BringBackFergy Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Don't forget that billion dollar bracket! If I win I'll treat for a Stay Away Order of Protection against Gugny. It's the least I can do.
Beerball Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 If I win I'll treat for a Stay Away Order of Protection against Gugny. It's the least I can do. After I win the $1B I will buy Gugny an island with no transportation on/off and strand him there.
Gugny Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 After I win the $1B I will buy Gugny an island with no transportation on/off and strand him there with Kate Upton and unlimited beer. Yes, please.
Beerball Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Yes, please. Boyst will be Gilligan to your Skipper. Sadly it will be just the two of you on this isle, no Mary Ann or Ginger.
