Overall odds of getting to 21 straight.

If you ever wondered the real odds of flipping a coin 21 right times and choosing the right side 21 times in a row, or in this case the correct team to win 21 times in a row here is how ya do it. To find the answer all you need to do is multiply 2 by the previous odds, as the correct choice is 1 of 2. thus to get 1 correct you odds are 1/2 then to get two straight you would multiply the previous streak of 1/2 by 2 to get odds of 1/4 to catch a streak of 2. and as follows. 1 straight 1/2 2 straight 1/4 3 straight 1/8 4 straight 1/16 5 straight 1/32 6 straight 1/64 7 straight 1/128 8 straight 1/256 9 straight 1/512 10 straight 1/1,024 11 straight 1/2,048 12 straight 1/4,096 13 straight 1/8,192 14 straight 1/16,384 15 straight 1/32,768 16 straight 1/65,536 17 straight 1/131,072 18 straight 1/262,144 19 straight 1/524,288 20 straight 1/1,048,576 21 straight 1/2,097,152 In my case I have a current streak of 3 going so my odds to win the whole thing and get 21 in a row is now a mere 1 in 262,144. However I think I will(21 in a row) will be hit sooner than most think. Cappers these days are better. Look at the previous years contests. To make top 5 in any given sport a few years ago you didnt need more than 10k in units, now you need near 20k in units, obviously points differ for sports but seems like it will be sooner than later. Maybe before the snow all comes and goes in the northeast. My guess is before tax season.

I have current odds of 1 in 1,048,576 to win 21 in a row right now. what are your odds currently??

1 in 524,288

1 in 262,144

1/524,288

zilch I'm on a bad streak 1 win in last 11 games. Horrible pinebox32.. How do I break this terrible streak?||confused.gif' border=0>

espnzoneboy, odd lines today in college basketball, look at my league pending picks for today in college basketball, got 6 or 7 plays all should win based on odd lines, they are all overs in the games, however another player on the site here tipped me off to the biggest odd line with texas A&M game over under at 129, true line on that game is 154, so pound the over, clearing 129 will happen with about 8 minutes left in the game, lock of the day definately.

to get 21 straight the odds are 1:10 lol

I'm on to something, wish I didn't play the damn indi over but oh well, had a good thing rolling new strategy. Started another streak tonight. WIll stick to my strategy till I lose thats a promise. Will make the leaderboard in less than a week mark this post.
