Support NeoGAF

[WorldStar]

starting to re-think my Syracuse over Ohio St pick...

 

[inm8num2]

If I win I will buy everyone posting in here lifetime memberships for NeoGAF Gold.

 

[daveo42]

I'll personally hand deliver $100,000 to everyone that posts in this thread once I win.

Welp, I'm in for that at least. No way in hell is anyone actually winning that prize. I'm holding out for tons of posts from pissed off people screwing up in the first round.

Good luck to those who did enter though. You're going to need it.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

They want your cell number and everything for this stupid thing? Fuck that, way too scummy with the information needed for me to sign up.

 

[Malleymal]

im in!

for what

 

[ErasureAcer]

I doubt anyone as more than 6/8 of the Elite Eight, and Buffet said he would buy anyone out with $10,000,000 or more if they made it to the Final Four (TAKE THE MONEY).

Missed that. Yeah, I'd buy out at that point.

 

[ErasureAcer]

what is the total number of outcomes for this tourney?

9 quintillion or something...but I think that includes the play-in games which you don't have to pick.

 

[Keyouta]

Where's John Titor when you need him?

 

[LyleLanley]

9 quintillion or something...but I think that includes the play-in games which you don't have to pick.

In that case this is easy money.

 

[hodayathink]

I actually think someone will win this. Unless there's a miracle it seems like only a few thousand possible options this year, and more people will be doing it for that sweet sweet buffet cash.

Go Wofford.

A few thousand options (between 1,000 and 5,000) would imply that there's only 10-13 games that are actually toss-ups, which isn't even close to true, seeing as anything between the 5-12 games and the 8-9 first round games is, at best, a 60/40 game. My prediction is that less than 10 even come out of the first 2 days unscathed, and no one comes out of the first weekend.

 

[Dion Blaster]

I signed up because why the hell not, I already filled out some other brackets anyways. I'm sure no one will win. Being in the top 20 would be sick though, each person gets $100,000.

 

[johnny_park]

Looks lik I'll be out after the very first game if Ohio St. keeps playing like this.

Same that was fun while it lasted.

yep

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Aww, I missed my chance to enter the contest.

Posting for that $100,000!

 

[ollin]

Nice had Dayton winning but Colorado is losing badly so I'm out.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Well that sucks wanted to get the first game right at least.

 

[John Dunbar]

couldn't enter because my non-american guesses would have been too good, but i'll take that 100k, thanks.

 

[WorldStar]

fml

 

[Cyan]

So how many people still in after the first game?

Bahahahaha.

 

[jwluther]

Couldn't enter because Yahoo kept telling me that my mobile number was invalid...

I would have totally won, too.

 

[WorldStar]

So how many people still in after the first game?

Bahahahaha.

still in it for $100k tho

 

[Phloxy]

I'd be down for 100k, considering I was too late to enter fml

 

[Anth0ny]

I want $100k

 

[LyleLanley]

Fuck Ohio State.

 

[FTF]

starting to re-think my Syracuse over Ohio St pick...

Always stick with your first answer!

 

[WorldStar]

Always stick with your first answer!

glad I did

 

[Paskil]

Pretty much out. I had OSU up until they lost in the Sweet 16.

 

[Neo C.]

Too bad it's only for US-citizen.

 

[BigJonsson]

I wish Canadians had been allowed to enter

 

[FTF]

glad I did

Ha nice...saw that fml and thought you switched.

 

[GotEmRunnin]

So how many people still in after the first game?

Bahahahaha.

As is life. Leave it to the state of Ohio to ruin everyone's chance at a more prosperous life.

 

[willow ve]

Would be great to have the giveaway announce how many entries are left after each game.

 

[Earthstrike]

Shame Canadians couldn't enter.

 

[GaimeGuy]

lol zing!

 

[the_prime_mover]

This is something that I have never once considered, but that is a lot of money, so I think I will spend some time looking into this.

I wonder what type of data they will be able to generate by looking at all of the people who tried and what their picks were.

The deadline passed.

 

[the_prime_mover]

The deadline passed.

It wouldn't matter, I am Canadian. I am interested in what the company will get out of this though. My guess is the information they have collected will have a lot of value.

 

[Effnine]

Ohio State owes me a billion dollars ... at least I only had them making it past the first round ... #foreverpoor

 

[DrForester]

6/9 so far.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

My bracket is taking it up the bum. Picked Ohio State, Cincy, and St. Joe's.

Rough day :/

 

[abolisher6812]

Just when I had almost forgiven Ohio State for beating Miami in the National Championship, they put up a stinker. I also had Cincinnati and now Oklahoma looks shaky.

 

[mackaveli]

So guess around 83% of the brackets are already eliminated lol.

 

[mcfrank]

So guess around 83% of the brackets are already eliminated lol.

I am surprised it is so few.

 

[CassSept]

So it only started and most of the people already failed? Nice.

 

[CheDominik]

Fucking St.Louis cost me a billion dollars. I knew it, nothing good ever came from Missouri.

 

[PK Strawstorm]

I have a perfect bracket so far... on my ESPN one where there isn't even a prize for the winner. You get entered into a random drawing if you are in the top 1%.

I lost the BILLION TM in the first game.

Still posting here in the hopes of GAF Gold.

I also heard that it's likely if anyone is perfect going into the Final Four, then Buffett et al would step in and offer like 1 million or 10 million or something to buy them out and avoid losing it all. I would definitely have taken that deal.

 

[Ghost23]

Thanks Ohio State I'm never choosing you again

 

[Frolow]

Sorry guys, the dream is dead.
