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.

Okay, I understand. 

At first I just wanted to post the example of the austrian football (called soccer in america) team but then I thought some people might not be familiar with the strength of this team, so I posted an american football example as well.

Does it really require as much impact as in your examples to make a little bit fun of leo-j's predictions? 

I guess not. I'm just worried that since it's so easy in any case, we'll become lazy in our mocking if we're not constantly trying to push the envelope. Actually, I'm just an NFL geek who's being picky.
