What % of the billion dollar contest was eliminated after the first game?

[whentowalkaway]

I'm thinking over 70% right there. What % will still be perfect after the first day? 5%? 1%?

[Justin3587]

Also, I read that the top 20 finishers regardless get 100,000 a piece.?

[Smoke]

[NYSportsGuy210]

I had Harvard and Pitt....Ohio State effed up my perfect bracket.

[Eejit]

[onestrong30]

crazy.. I had Dayton and Harvard too.. seemed like easy picks... also didn't enter the billion dollar bracket challenge lol still know I don't have a snowballs chance in hell so I'm not too upset about it.

[NYSportsGuy210]

Imagine Albany beats Florida.....that would probably eliminate like 99.7% of all the brackets in the Billion Dollar Pool by day one

[ChalkyDog]

Billion dollar bracket.Good lord! Dead as a hammer.

Who you got between Zaga and OKST?

[James D]

Has to be more then 85%

Will be less then 1/2 of 1% after today. Question I have is will anyone survive the weekend

Zero chance.

If they didn't cap the entries, maybe.

15 mil, and one per household. It's not happening.

[KRIT]

The funny part is everyone who predicted Dayton and Harvard are getting all excited like they still have a shot.

More i think


you are right Krit, it's like buying a lottery ticket and being excited if you have the first number they draw. Still have to give them credit though for the 2 picks

I am rather excited I am still in this.

I don't have a shot at a billion, never did, but I do enjoy being in the top percentile of shit like this.

Not exactly sure about your post bro. So you think no one survives weekend at all chalky?

agree you should be excited, still a good job picking the early ones

Yep. It hasn't happened on ESPN in a while, and they have more than 15 million brackets per year.

The fact that everyone is limited to one, wild picks aren't as likely. Most people playing it conservative. Thus why you see 80+% of the brackets go by the wayside with Dayton.

Our simulator gave Dayton a 36% chance of winning, but 83.7% of billion dollar brackets took Ohio State.

-------
When you add Harvard upset of Cincy, has to be well over 90% eliminated.

Warren Buffett simply never makes a bad decision. Given that he launched a new risk insurance business last June, and they're insuring the contest, and Quicken Loans is getting all of this personal information for free from 15 million people, we are watching the shrewdest man of our time at work. We should all be taking notes on everything that the man does.

This would be the perfect year to have a sports almanac ala Biff in back to the future 2. Although not Biffs, his only went to 2000

[d2bets]

I'm 7/8 and it says I'm 79,549. So does that mean there are 79,548 that are 8/8 and I'm T-79,549?

But how many joined this? Like 15 million, right? So that would mean around 5% left?

They're still giving away a bunch of money to the top 100 or something, but it's still peanuts. It's a great promotion.
