    I think I'm right here. Every game you win in a row you multiply by .5 so three in a row would be 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 or 12.5%....I,ve won 12 straight and I think the odds for that are 4,000-1. 21 straight comes out to be 2,500,000-1||clover.gif' border=0>

    Yup...Math is right. Assuming that there is a 50% chance on ever game, the chances of getting 21 in a row right are 1 in (.5)^21, or 1 in 2.1 million. But the thing that you have to take into consideration is if you have some skill at picking games. Assume that you can pick games at a 60% clip and your odds jump to 1 in 1 in 45K...slight difference.

    Ummmmmm. I thought the biggest thing is that it is FREE! Ya don;t have to play the free game if you don't like the odds against you.

    I agree interesting question it was. Not sure you can use someones picking ratio in the equation unless you break it down using the various options for a selection. Happy New Year

    They did what all teams do they just got caught...what about all those guys in the league suspended for 4 games for violating substances program. Are they not cheaters? How about the ones that do not get caught?? What about teams that encourage their players to get bigger ,stronger, faster. Teams know their guys stretch the boundrys of legallness. They dont care ...just do not get caught! People need to get off their high horses. Every team tries to get a competitive advantage! The Jags are going to be tough to beat!!

    Every team does it!! The camera used the second week of the season had absolutely no bearing on the season, New York used one on them last season, I guess it's different if you're not the best football team in the world. If you think New England are arrogant,I don't think you know the meaning of the word...people tend to dislike dynasties, I guess you are one of those, what they have accomplished in this decade is nothing short of outstanding. When the Cowboys and 49ers etc won a couple bowls they were paying NY Yankee sized salaries, face it mister, the PATRIOTS are one classy team on and off the field!!!
