You have a better chance of winning the powerball lottery...ready for this...three days in a row!

I signed up the forgot to fill out my bracket.

Can't lose if you don't play.

That's BS. That number is only if in every single game each team has a 50% chance of winning. http://regressing.deadspin.com/no-the-odds-of-picking-a-perfect-bracket-arent-1-in-9-1545493640

Like that can't happen, Jack

At least Quicken Loan will have a lot of personal info on everyone that submits a bracket. Buffett is brilliant.

So, you're saying we have a chance.

Are you saying Slate (and others) went for the emotion over the practical? LOL

We joke about these odds at work all the time. Then again, we're a bunch of nerds.

I'm already out of the running, I think I picked Iowa to win in the round of 64.

I tried. And I will win!

I completed and saved my bracket but could not find a submit button. Hopefully I did enough because I'm sure I picked a perfect bracket - However, if Buffett offers to buy me out before the tournament ends, I'll probably take the deal.

You'd have to right?

Just heard very interesting interview with the DePaul professor cited in this article.

Besides the "reasonable" odds of 128 billion to 1 when you take seeding and history into account...he expects there to be many people who have perfect first rounds. Perhaps hundreds.

From there the odds of picking the remaining 31 games correctly are about one in 7.5 million.

The odds of Warren Buffet having to pay out on this are - AT WORST - one in ten-thousand.

[Fly Rodder]

Not a chance. They should have enough data on me.

 

[JohnCuse44]

No one has ever had a perfect bracket right?

 

[SWFLCUSE]

Guys there is no need to enter... I've already submitted the winning bracket, the rest is just formalities.

 

[RandygoCuse]

No one has ever had a perfect bracket right?

I believe there's never been a confirmed record of one - I'm sure there's a bigger risk of the database being hacked than of a perfect bracket. If there are any perfect brackets after the round of 64, my guess is that they will print them all out.

No entry has ever been close to a perfect bracket.
