| TheSource said: I don't even like football, but I made $150 off this game. Its just odds. Even if the Patriots are favored to win 80% of the time in a game vs. an opponent played 100 times, playing 19 games put their odds at winning this final game at about 1% after winning the previous 18 games. Thats my logic - without paying attention to or liking football at all. Alot of the wiser writers accurately predicted this as well - one general sports writer who I respect alot - Mike Celzic - called it over a week ago. |
obviously you have never taken a course in probability... your 1% comment is a classic error people make. it's like betting on roulette and "it's come up on red 18 times in a row. the chances of it coming up red again, making it 19 times in a row, is miniscule!"
of course a lot of writers would predict this accurately. if there are 100 out there, and 20 of them predicted the Giants to win, you have 20 writers who get this right. now that is odds.
