Will there be a perfect bracket at ESPN?
Yes +5000
No -12,500


The real question is will 5 Dimes be around in April to pay this bet?
Yes -150
No +120

That is definitely a lock and -12,500 is superb value. One has to wonder if they're trying to lure money with a lock before they close up.

I saw those odds and starting laughing. What a joke. You should get 1,000,000 to 1 if you hit that bet and you are still getting shaved.

tater-Because 5 Dimes is a slow paying crook outfit now. They are going the way of WSEX and Aces Gold. Get your money out before the Super Bowl.

Get real Jstack.......lmao. Nobody will ever hit this as long as the earth is still spinning. It's just about mathematically impossible.

If 5 Dimes is willing to bet 125-1 with their own money that someone will have a perfect bracket, and offer anyone the other side of that bet, then that tells you all you need to know about 5 Dimes right now. This is not the 5 Dimes of your grandfather. This is 50 Cent Sportsbook, a sinking ship of stiffs.

[FONT=&quot]The odds of picking a perfect bracket in the NCAA men's basketball tournament are really, really small. So small, in fact, that many mathematicians differ on the actual estimation of the odds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Some believe it's as low as 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 (or 1 in 9.2 quintillion, for those who skipped the last 18 digits), while others, including Jeff Bergen, a professor at DePaul, think it's as "high" as 1 in 128 billion. Either way, picking all 63 games (excluding the First Four games) correctly is next to impossible.[/FONT]

If everyone in the US fills out a bracket, the chances of someone winning is less than .0025

but this bet would be so simple to hedge in the event it wins on the plus side.

Nobody is hedging this bet, Chop. It's the equivalent on betting if gravity will still exist on April 5. And 50 Cents Sportsbook knows this, that's why it raises huge red flags, as if there weren't tons already.

Well I once dumped in my entire account balance late at night with nothing else to do until morning about $1400 at the time at 5dimes to bet on Canada Womens hockey moneyline vs Italy in the Olympics held in Italy. I won like 8 bucks.

Italy as the home nation had a bye to enter a team in every event. Their womens hockey team was a group of American women college hockey players cobbled together so long as they has Italian names. Olympic rules are generous as to ancestry as to who can play for what country. No practice no nothing, even their coach said they had no chance.

Canada won like 13-0. Deadbolt locks arent easy to come by

But seriously why would anyone put even 1 dollar on the +5000 even if it was for shit and giggles when there are about 100 contest on the internet for free that gives out 1 million and in some cases more.

Warren Buffet was giving away 1 billion bucks for a perfect bracket last season.


Look for election odds for who will win the 2086 election at 5 dimes soon.
