    It's virtually impossible. If everyone in the country filled out a bracket every year -- we'd see one perfect bracket about every 400 years.

    Actual Mathematical Chances: 1 in 9,233,372,036,854,775,808
    If you know basketball and account for that: about 1 in 128,000,000,000.

    So he's basically just being an arrogant **** bragging about his money. I hope 10 people win and bankrupt his ass now.

    10 billion would set him back about 30% of his holdings. Maybe less.

    Maybe he should take that money and give his secretary a good rise and stop all the damn whinning he does about how he doesn't have to pay taxes and his secretary does.

    that's not whining, it's stating a fact.

    if, and that's a big IF on me scoring perfect & Buffett holding up his end of said offer, you can go ahead and rest assured that our beloved university will see a SIGNIFICANT bankrolling of all athletic teams/staffs, along with a couple of the departments on campus, namely architecture, mechanical engineering, education, and music depts.
    and then I would plant my butt in a sky box and otherwise enjoy my time hunting and fishing all year.

    Buffet is just supplying the insurance to the Quicken Loan people who are the sponsors.

    Nothing but a gimmick. It's never been done and never will be done. Pepsi did the same billion dollar scam several years ago.

    It's not a scam, it's brilliant. Every person has the power to pick any bracket they want and in return you just have to give up a little of your privacy to Quicken loans, which you've probably already given to facebook anyway, and the government has definitely stolen... no harm no foul.
