He's giving you 1.4 cents if the games are random. If they aren't random, like with match fixing, then he's giving you $1 billion. That leaves plenty of money to bribe the relevant refs and players.
- joosters 13y agoYou missed my point. Buffett's offer is irrelevant to the subject of match fixing. If he had never made this $1 billion promotion, you could still achieve the same payout by placing a bet for just over a cent. All this talk of match fixing is just noise; sure, it could be an interesting topic of discussion, but it is completely unrelated to Buffett's offer. Unless you really think people out there weren't going to try and fix matches, but suddenly they change their mind now they've been given a free 1.4 cent bet.
- gibybo 13y agoSorry, I did miss that. It is an excellent point.
