    Anyone doing the "billion dollar bracket" ?

    I don't think I am going to, they are asking for a lot of information. I don't think that all the spam you will end up getting will be worth the tiny tiny tiny chance of winning this.

    I remember hearing about it but it wasn't perfect for the entire thing. It has never happened. I used a dummy email only for it so I'm not too worried about the spam and whatnot.

    1 in 9,200,000,000,000,000,000 chance to hit but they get your cell number to bombard you with lots of insurance shit. Pass.

    If you feel so good about your chances, just parlay all MLs on the first two days of the tourney.

    You have better odds winning the powerball and lottery multiple times than win this.

    Basically giving your rights over for legal phishing haha. They know the odds of someone winning is closer to 7 billion people living 1 million times. Astronomical, they just want your information knowing that quite a few people will do business with them via loans or whatever else. All the while getting their business name out in the open. Probably selling that info also.

    Those odds are incorrect.

    They are assuming that each game is a coin flip. A 16 has never beaten a 1, 15's rarely beat 2's and 14's rarely beat 3's. That's 12 events that have to be weighted to get correct odds and would significantly alter the odds.

    That said, the point is certainly spot on. It's nearly impossible

    Quicken Loans Bracket Contest 1 Billion Dollars

    My home loan is through Quicken. So I could careless about the personal info. For those of you who need to refinance... they are actually a good company. Better than years past. I refinanced my home for 3.99%. Hardly any excessive personal information given... it was part of the HARP 2.0 plan... loan closed in 20 days. Fastest ever. Saved $330 a month on interest.
