Default Re: A priori odds against Miami winning by exactly 1 point?

Depends on how often you figure Miami wins...

At 50% Miami wins by 1 point approximately 2.14% of the time.
At 40% Miami wins by 1 point exactly 1.71% of the time.

Just multiply how often you expect Miami to win by 4.27% (0.0427) and then subtract this from 100%

OK, so I was close the first time. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
