From Fox News: The oracle of college basketball is now appealing to the Oracle of Omaha for a shot at $1 billion.
Brad Binder, a lifelong basketball player who is a Chicago Bulls and Fighting Illini fan, has a perfect NCAA bracket after 33 games, ABC News reports.
Now Binder, who filled out his picks on Yahoo! Sports but didn’t take the extra steps to enter Warren Buffett’s billion-dollar challenge, is trying to get in touch with the business magnate to get grandfathered in to the prize pool.
Binder, 23, who said it took him just 5 minutes to fill out the bracket, which Yahoo! has confirmed, told ABC News: “I wish I could give you a better reason why I didn’t enter other than I was rushed and heading to work.
“Obviously, I didn’t think I’d be where I am now.”
Binder, a part-time physical therapy assistant, had Dayton beating Ohio State, and picked No. 14 seed Mercer to beat No. 3 Duke. Binder also knew Memphis would beat George Washington.
“I’m hot on Warren Buffett’s trail,” Binder reportedly said. “I’ve been tweeting him . . . to see if he’s feeling up to it.” http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2014/03/23/fan-with-perfect-ncaa-bracket-missed-shot-at-1b-prize/
This is like going to Vegas, playing the slots but only betting 25 cents out $5, hitting a Royal Flush and then demand the casino pay you like bet the maximum amount.
Buffet shouldn't even give this guy the time of day, much less allow him a chance to win the $1,000,000,000.
