I will stay at the prediction

I will add it to my sig, if it happens im the new VGCHARTZ PREDICTION GUY!!!

The austrian football team reaching the quarter finals at Euro 2008 is much more probable than your prediction. The same is true for the Houston Texans to win the Super Bowl within the next 5 years.

I didn't know the Texans were doing that poorly.


Also @Desroko:

Does it really matter how good the Texans have become? The point is that both examples I provided aren't probable to happen, but they are in the realm of possibility, while leo-j's prediction is not.


The comparison loses impact when the two examples aren't really similar. Saying something like "Andy Roddick has a better chance of beating Roger Federer in straight sets" or "Jamaica will sooner win a gold medal in bob-sledding" is better. Both are obviously not going to happen, but they're still more likely that what leo's predicting. I can't speak for the Austrian team, but the Texans example doesn't pack a lot of punch because it's not overwhelmingly, 99.99~% improbable, just improbable.
