Funny stuff. You literally have better odds that a miniature wormhole will open up in your bathroom and suck you into uranus.

We need to come together and cap every game for hours, maybe a team of us can do it and split the money. Games we are unsure of we use one guy to pick one team and another to pick the other team and continue capping the tree. If enough of us work together maybe just maybe one of us could have a perfect bracket?

It's nice to dream.

Odds of perfect bracket = 9.2 quintillion:1. That's the number 92 followed by 17 zeros. So, the odds of winning (9.2 quintillion) divided by prize (1 billion) = 920 million. In short, Warren Buffett NEVER makes a bad investment.

Well, dudes. If you finish in top-20, you would get a $100K prize. Something to think about.

Can`t be done. Thats why there offering it

Wasn't there a guy last year that got perfect or only 1 wrong? I'm pretty sure last year someone came very close, i heard it on CNN.

I hope somebody does it just to make those guys cough up the cash.....

Warren is just trying to look for time traveler to pay him a billion bucks.

A chick on Twitter today said: "Warren Buffett does realize someone could easily write a computer program to come up with every possible bracket combo & submit them all?"
My response: "(1) 1 entry/household, (2) odds of perfect bracket = 9.2 quintillion:1 (or 920 million times 1 billion)."
Her response: "a bunch of people could get in on this, not out of the question still."
My response: "Will take a lot more people that those currently on earth. Odds 920 million:1 in Buffett's favor & free press like a boss."

I weep for the future.

[Luckycharms2012]

I'll still send in my shitty bracket you never know.

What would the taxes be on this if you won? Thanks Mr Buffett for the generous gesture.

is it free to enter?

1 billion seems like much but its actually highway robbery for getting a correct bracket, need to add another 5 zeros or so.

Haven't they had perfect brackets before in those ESPN or CBS Sportsline contests? I thought I have heard of perfect brackets before Also are those odds predicated on all 50:50 games? some are way more lopsided I'm sure (but would still be astronomical)
