RE: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] A contest for you pick /em geniuses

Wouldn’t it be newsworthy if someone picked the first 62 games correctly, meaning they got it right up to the final game….only to lose it with a buzzer beater….

 

A billion $$$ is a lot money even if it’s paid out over a number of years.

One could trim that number down a bit by omitting any seeds lower than 11 from the Final Four and any seed lower than 8 from winning it all. That would still include every result in the history of the tournament.

 

From a wagering standpoint, eliminating any teams seeded 5th or below from the Final Four would seem to pick up about 90% of the actual Final Fours and help trim the number down further.

There are 63 games played with one winner and 2 teams each, so, 2^63 possibilities, which is a huge number.  Buffett's money is pretty safe!
