I started a 2+2 thread about this a couple weeks back, u win the billion if u pick the bracket perfectly, the top 15 or 20(cant remember which and dont feel like looking it up) imperfect brackets win 100k towards a new house/remodel/refinance.
So ya no one was going to win the billion, but no matter what happens with the tourney 15 or 20 people will be winning a house, and to me that made it worth the time to fill out the bracket.

That number is only right if you are randomly picking each game, and assume that that each outcome has a 50% probability of occurring. Basically your equation doesn't factor skill of the teams, or the picker into it. Come on your a mathematician how can you not account for variable change?
lol i kno i am being totally ridiculous i am i just drunk and felt like nit picking.Last edited by nab76; 03-29-2014 at 12:21 AM.

its was Yahoo and Buffet together not both of them individually offering a billion, it was 500,000,000 lump sum or 25 mil a year for 40 years. here is a good link to the rules and some background Quicken Loans Partners With Yahoo Sports To Launch Its ‘Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge’ | Quicken Loans Press Room
