Billion dollar NCCA bracket live

[JTsyo]

If you want to try your luck, the bracket is live. Your luck has to be pretty good since the odds are 1:9,223,372,036,854,775,808. There's also $100K for best 20 brackets.

I have the 4 first ranked teams making it to the final 4. Has that ever happened?

I stopped at the point where Yahoo asked for my mobile number. The fine print says that Yahoo reserves the right to send marketing materials via SMS. F that.

The odds of winning the billion are almost impossible, but the odds of getting spam are almost certain.

Was that required? I didn't give my mobile number.

If you want to not use your mobile number read my reply in the other bball tourney thread.

I have texting disabled on my cell (me = dinosaur). Does that mean I can't do this nonsense?

And here I thought the odds were ~7 quadrillion against. And it's actually 9 quintillion? If people comprehended what those numbers actually meant, they wouldn't bother.

The 100k for the best 20 is at least in the realm of possibility, although I've never come close to winning the office pool even so I won't bother with it.

they wouldn't bother.

if they are going to make a bracket anyway, why not enter it for a chance to win $?

1:9,223,372,036,854,775,808? So your saying there's a chance!

Ran into the same problem. Texting is not disabled but I'm too cheap to pay 40 cents or whatever a single texting rate is. I tried entering my home phone and Google Voice number and it wouldn't take. Anyone figured out a workaround?

those odds assume each game has an equal probability, which is false

I usually place in the top 3 in my office pool. Did well last year with the ATOT bracket challenge thing too.. Hoping my luck carries over.
