Just thought I'd check the Sid the Kid Sweepstakes to see where it might look like HFers think he's going and:
after 55 entries, nothing scientific but:
3 Ball Teams:
NYR - 20
please God, no
BUF - 7 *One ineligible if owner doesn't make changes
PIT - 4
CBS - 2
33/55 = 60% chance of a 3 Ball Team winning.
20/55 = 36% chance of going to Rangers!!!
2 Ball Teams:
LAK - 4
CHI - 3
EDM - 3
CAL - 2
PHX - 1
13/55 = 23.6% chance of a 2 Ball Team winning.
1 Ball Teams:
MTL - 3 *One ineligible if owner doesn't make changes
NJ - 2
DAL - 1
DET - 1
OTT - 1 *One ineligible if owner doesn't make changes
TB - 1
9/55 = 16.4% chance of a 1 Ball Team winning.
Interesting at least, if not the least bit unscientific, but
then most (make that all) of the systems used to 'guess'
the winners of a lottery are useless, otherwise instead
of sitting in this friggin' damp, cold, windowless office, I'd be sitting
on a nice warm beach or hitting the links someplace interesting having
won an actual lottery...
