Who you rootin' for?

Runnin' Rebel · 19 March 2014, 12:51 PM

UofA and Lobos of New Mexico. I hope San Diego State gets booted out in the first round

Not many basketball fans on here

Headed to Buffalo tomorrow to cheer on Villanova!

mtrunner · 19 March 2014, 10:12 PM

I would love to see The George Washington University win a few since I went to grad school there. Seeded 9th and have had a good year. I also root for Gonzaga as well and if I have to pull for a top seed I am pulling for Virginia.

Oh and don't forget to fill out your bracket. Perfect bracket gets you a billion dollars! Odds are not in your favor but fun to play anyways and its free.

Yep exactly why they are willing to put up a billion dollars. Virtually impossible!

If it makes you feel any better, those odds are assuming that every game is a 50/50 toss up. When you factor in that a #1 seed has never lost in the first round, 2 seeds win 96% of the first round, and so forth, your odds improve to...1 in 128 billion.

Also, the best 20 brackets win $100,000 each.

The contest is limited to 15 million entries, so with 20 first prizes you have no worse than a 1 in 750,000 chance to win a huge amount of money!

If I can't win big money, I'm rooting for the underdog.

so what you are saying is I have a 1 in 128 billion chance or 1 in 750,000?

and if I have a 1 seed loosing in the second round then I'm screwed?

Oh well, cest' la vie

That maybe true about the 1 seed's but it's a very small sample size, no? Things do happen

Agreed. You never know, and statistically, every game is a 50/50 chance.

You have a 1 in 128 Billion chance of the perfect bracket when you take seedings into consideration.

You have a 1 in 750,000 chance of walking away with some cash.

HogwldFLTR · 19 March 2014, 11:49 PM

Lived in Tucson for ten years and was there when they one. Quite a celebratory atmosphere there for that. Not so when they lose.

AzPaul · 21 March 2014, 05:53 AM

I'm guessing Dayton's already kicked out quite a few possible billionaires.

lol, yeah, news said 81%, and now that Cincinnati lost ...

Harvard, really?

Is this "Quiz Bowl"??

seand442 · 21 March 2014, 09:19 AM

I'm 7 for 7 so far. The UCONN-St. Joes. game looks like it should be good. I haven't quite got my shopping list for when I'm a billionaire.

mjclark32 · 21 March 2014, 09:23 AM

Between Dayton and Harvard I'm toast...

Gagebuilder · 21 March 2014, 09:55 AM

Well, I didn't win a billion dollars.

Stupid Buckeyes!

vette5451 · 21 March 2014, 09:59 AM

Did everyone think they were gonna get a perfect bracket

Thats why its called March Madness.!!!

mtrunner · 21 March 2014, 11:32 AM

I actually picked Harvard. Harvard is a really good team and have had good teams for a few years now. Dayton did me in though.

Hairdude1 · 21 March 2014, 11:40 AM

On Wisconsin!!!

Runnin' Rebel · 21 March 2014, 11:51 AM

The guy on the left is 7ft. tall and 270lbs...

He's a monster

seand442 · 21 March 2014, 03:36 PM

Well, not gonna be a billionaire but 15 out of 16 on day 1 ain't bad.

AzPaul · 22 March 2014, 10:58 AM

I won't be missing Duke.

mtrunner · 22 March 2014, 11:06 PM

There have been a ton of upsets. Are there any perfect brackets left? I can't believe Duke got tossed.

Runnin' Rebel · 22 March 2014, 11:50 PM

Nope, no perfect brackets left

mtrunner · 25 March 2014, 12:18 AM

Actually there is still one perfect bracket that remains though he is not eligible for the billion dollars!
