I can respond to this in loose terms: 

Across all of our contests we have grown again this year with just under 30,000,000 picks and over 175,000 players. We spend hundreds of thousands on prizes and contrary to popular belief we are ready and well overdue for a $100,000 winner. 

This year we upgraded our swag and made a slight change to move the odds in your favor in Streak Survivor. 

In 2014, we hope to revamp the contest website, improve the mobile contest experience and have 2 full Ultimate Races with sponsored prizes. Not a bad deal for free?

Good deal, I just wish there were prizes for overall record!

I've somehow never even gotten 15 in a row on survivor.

@CoversMKTG

thanks for the stats.
I didn't know that I had a 0.00057% chance getting 17 in a row.

which means.. pretty impossible to repeat it 2x. 

good luck to all players

Since it has been said that each picked game is basically a 50-50 proposition....What then,are the odds of hitting 22 in a row? Somebody with a mathamatics degree would know this easily...

Thanks

This could be realistic, but your choices are not random. It could be edge in any choice you make, so that impressive total odd is probably significantly lower. You can have edge on the games, that`s what I am saying. Nobody can confirm that the odds settled by bookies are the correct ones for each game.

Understand your line of reasoning and it makes much logical sense..However, lets say by absolute intelligent capping you gain a 5% edge over the books.

That would make your picks selection at 55% to win and 45% to lose.

To win 22 straight at a 55% advantage would still be an impressive accomplishment..Has to be true odds in the millions....The Wizard of odds would be able to tell us or any other gifted math expert.

I feel pretty good, I am one of the few that has a streak of 15 in a row.  I have my covers "hoodie" to prove it.  That was the prize for 15 when I got my streak.

2 cap winner 
hoodie winner
both sitting in a corner somewhere. 
$1K with 18 win streak....
lost tiebreaker for monthly total  May 2012  

other than that... just very lucky during the streak.. (I think maybe 4-5 games)....

@yisman
you are too good to have just 15 wins in streak survivor... you won at least one month in Survivor total wins. 
that streak will come soon

Since every game is a 50/50 proposition, take 0.5 to the power of 22. you have roughly a 0.000000238% chance of hitting 22 in a row

It's amazing how often people lose at 15 or 16 then again if each pick has a 50/50 chance only 25% chance would any two picks be right meaning that % is actually beaten, still a crazy drop though.
