If you correctly predict the winner of every single game of the 2014 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, you will win $1 Billion. Now, as far as I could tell after a number of Googles, a perfect bracket has never been filled out before. Of course that's why Warren Buffett and Quicken Loans are confident enough to put the challenge out there, because the odds of winning are something like a ridiculous 1 in 128 billion, but it can be done, and that's why I will be submitting my bracket. Enter the contest: https://www.facebook.com/notes/quicken-loans/quicken-loans-billion-dollar-bracket-challenge-short-form-rules/10152185833560489 Joe Lunardi's Bracketology: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology The Daily Conversation https://www.youtube.com/TheDailyConversation Facebook http://www.facebook.com/thedailyconversation Google+ https://plus.google.com/100134925804523235350/posts Twitter http://www.twitter.com/thedailyconvo Now, there could be a little bit of a catch here as the fine print says the contest will only be open to the first 10,000,000 registrants starting at midnight on March 3, 2014. The problem is the tournament field won't be set until March 16, so a vast majority of those 10,000,000 applicants may be not only trying to predict winners--but predicting the entire tournament field. So this is either a deceitful ploy on the part of Quicken's lawyers to completely guarantee there could be no winners, or a simple mistake that will be corrected as the contest grows closer. You may also be watching this video thinking, "I sure want to win a billion dollars, but I know nothing about college basketball." Well have no fear, I bring you the Bracketologist Joe Lunardi. Joe has correctly predicted the tournament field in 2008 and 2013, and was one or two off in 2009 and 2010, so he's a very good place to start. Why am I giving out this secret when I should be saving it for myself? Because the contest rules don't specifically say you can't have multiple winners and I think it would be awesome if like 10 or 15 people won and forced massive payouts from Quicken and Buffet. That's probably not going to happen, but with the contest still giving out $100,000 each to the top 20 scoring brackets, I thought it was worth making a video about because here on The Daily Conversation, we're all about sharing the wealth. I'm Bryce Plank, don't let this contest - or March - drive you mad.
