Thanks.
I think if anyone has the time, my method would be a way of getting a lot more accurate results because of the inherent unlikelihood of the event, but this is obviously incredibly helpful too.

I would count the times that each team hit, not the times that both hit. Just to increase sample size A LOT.
having a 12k sample of 40-1 shots is a lot better than a 6k sample of 1500-1 shots, even though it's actually just an estimation.
