    Fukk that. Warren Buffett giving away $1m A YEAR for life if someone is perfect just through the sweet 16. And if Nebraska or creighton win it all he’ll double it to 2m a year for life.

    i think it's funny how the online books offer a million for perfect bracket when the odds are worse than powerball ur better off buying a 2 dollar pball ticket and having more of a chance winning 420 million next drawing

    If the true odds are 195,000,000 to 1, then that is a +EV play.

    Obviously the number of brackets filled out matters.

    I wonder how many were last year. It looks like around 3-4 million.

    Before games tipped off yesterday I think I saw it at +2500 yes and -6000 no.

    I guess some folks pounded the yes! Worst bet ever.
