Going 0 in 10? According to basic statistics, IF and only IF you view each side as a 50% winner (a coin flip) for 2 outcomes, the math would be:
(1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = I don't have my scientific calculator on me to turn this decimal into a fraction.
Either this above or (1/2)^10. If you don't understand math, that's (1/2) to the 10th power.
Then again, one could argue that these sides are not 50/50. In a baseball post a while back when the Yankees lost as -380 favorites to a visiting Kansas City Royals, an interesting comment was made. "Does -380 mean a SURE win? Or does it mean that you just have to win 1 out of 4 to break even?" If you chose the latter, 1 out of 4 to break even, that means that every choice you make in sports betting is 50/50...

You posted your comment before I could submit mine. It also looks like we are somewhat "college" educated with a basic statistics class under our belt. Then again, that's assuming that these are 50/50 scenarios but that can be argued with that these are NOT 50/50 scenarios.. 
Hey, some ppl need to see the math to understand the process that arrives to the solution. 
But thank you for converting to the decimal to the fraction form. Also, going 0-10 and going 10-0 are the exact same odds. Again, assuming that these are 50/50 scenarios, which can be argued with..
Hahaha some of these comment are great. I did say I would have went Giants if I bet it and said fade away. Woulda been 0-11. Ive never had this happen in 8-9 years of bettinng. Over all I lost about $600-700 but $300 of that was profit. Ill wait until next Saturday and post my in the NCAAF. Lol! What a s*****y ride
