Default Re: Chance of predicting exact basketball scores?
[ QUOTE ]
6481 NBA games since 1990 with non-zero integer spread and total.

There were 254 pushes against spread [3.919%].

There were 100 pushes against total [1.543%].

Assuming these are independent (questionable), the likelihood of both occuring is 0.060%, slightly higher than the actual historical probability of 0.046%.

I prefer this one. Thanks again.
