They do the hole in one deals for golf tournaments. The $100,000 half court fan shots for college fund raisers etc. I assume that its this same company that is doing the bracket. I know they have to pay out from time to time, but I think he makes money on it, so they can't be paying out that much.<br /><br />I've tried to get the WTRC organizers to do a Million dollar mile event as part of their shoot. So far they've not wanted to investigate the premium for it.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-87338781370849432692014-03-26T13:21:20.580-06:002014-03-26T13:21:20.580-06:00It's not like there is any risk.

This guy only predicted a 60% chance of Republican victory. That's nowhere close to certainty. It would be more useful if he could predict what the new majority size will be.

I know Warren Buffet thinks it can't be done, which is why he took the bet. Still I'd love to take the cash payout for that one.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-3999374312397896032014-03-26T11:01:40.672-06:002014-03-26T11:01:40.672-06:00ESPN constructed an elaborate maze that mimicked t...ESPN constructed an elaborate maze that mimicked the NCAA basketball tournament bracket. They released rats into the maze to "predict" the outcomes of the various matchups throughout the tourney.<br /><br />In the first round of games, the rats were 15 of 16. That's a success rate of 94%.<br /><br />I'm going to create a lottery ticket maze and run some rats through it.WaterBoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-25427518709804692812014-03-26T10:15:07.804-06:002014-03-26T10:15:07.804-06:00If the Republicans win the house and the Senate, t...<i>If the Republicans win the house and the Senate, they will waste their chance to do any good for this country.</i><br /><br />Yep.<br /><br />I might vote repub until they do that.
