Who's up for a challenge to win a billion?

Violates the spirit of the competition, so I'm out on principle alone.

 

You aren't invited to the victory celebration at Mr. Gattis.

 

Golden coral. Triple chocolate fountains.

 

Just wait until I dip my [penis] Huffman in it.

 

Whoa! You paying?

 

Double whoa!

 

Drinks are on me.

 

In.

 

Happy to participate if needed.

 

That's a pretty messed up asterisk in post #1.

 

I'll join in.

Here was my thought driving home.

We've got to not use or even consider teams when doing this and only focus on seeds, history and statistics to have a calculated shot at this. The tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. We need to run a statistical analysis of every tournament since then and see what the most frequent scenarios are since then and hit as many bracket combos as we can. And then hope that there isn't a 14 over a 3 or a 15 over a 2 (or heaven help us a 16 over a 1).

For example, if stats show a 6 seed makes the elite 8 30% of the time, and this is one of the highest statistic occurrences, we run as many scenarios with this as possible with all 4 6 seeds.

That said, and I don't know how hard this is, but I'd love to see if there are statistically any trends in all 63 games taken as a whole, not game by game, and run with that.

There's going to be a definite element of luck to even get this to hitting a 3/4 last-second shot range, but we can at least reduce the odds in our favor.

Thoughts?

 

In my mind and how I see this playing out..............if we get to the final four perfect, we'd have every scenario covered.

 

Im in.

Mama needs some new earings.

 

Reckon I might as well throw my hat in the ring.

 

I love Gatti's.

It sustained me through college.

 

We could throw one heck of a party at mr gattis with a cool 500 million or so

 

How are you planning on getting around the one entry per household requirement? When someone is eligible for a cool billion, i believe they might run a query or two on his information.

 

Is this a rule?
