Even if the win percentage was 10%, it's still much higher than the likelihood of guessing the exact yards of a passer in a given game.

Like.. your example was Stroud throwing 250 when the line was 245

Even if you know the final passing yards were definitely going to be +/-5 from the line, that's a 9.09% chance of guessing the right number...

The real likelihood of guessing the right number is much lower because obviously there's no guarantee the actual number will be within 5 of the line, just an example for you to see how wrong you are..


He was trying to say the odds were less than 1%. So, the math to hit 1% is -/+99 since there are two QBs. It was also a freeroll that he didn't have to participate in. He also compared 1000fg to 1$. Also, I was taking a shot at him for incorrectly writing the less than symbol. 50/50 chance on that one and he got it wrong. Also, the counting jelly beans in a jar isn't that hard. You count how many are in the circumference and then how many are in the height and then you can reduce the volume pretty close.The example that I gave of Stroud was what actually happened. Like your math showed you had a 1/11 in chance if you stayed with 5 yards of the line. Dudes just upset because I told him the Browns are the worst NFL franchise to ever exist and he knows it so it follows me around crying.

I realize that the Browns win percentage is greater than the odds actually selecting the correct passing yards. I was being facetious. Thanks for breaking down the math and selecting the right answer. You understood the goal of the poll.

Ain't nobody reading that :blink: :wacko: :bonk:

Hilarious the mental gymnastics you're trying to do. Just admit you hosted freerolls that basically are impossible to hit around 1 or 2%. Could have easily just said "closest to wins"

Solving for 1% is mental gymnastics for you?

Well yea because your tryna defend your bogus freeroll. The actual idea of solving for %1, its redundant because it doesn't change your intentions. Like I said, if you actually cared about giving away 1000fg, you would have given it to the closest person


Edit/ also hilarious you participated in your own freeroll :rofl:

Two people won and I was going to continue to post more until Article ruined it. Sorry, this isn't Canada where y'all give out participations trophies. I was only providing proper format so didn't have to clarify or throw someones entry out.

LOL wtf does Canada have to do with this convo? Come up some new jokes, makes sense your a trumpler. Your fellow Americans have done freerolls in that way.

Esdit:/ did you just lie that 2 ppl won? Looks like one person did ( after no 1 hit the first one)

Sorry for not hosting the freeroll how you would have done it. Sorry for not paying out someone that got close to being right. Sorry for coming up with an original idea for a freeroll and not doing the same thing everyone else does.

Just like last weekend and the weekend before that you continue to pop into my topics providing your opinion. It's the weekend, go do something besides following me around.

Peroni and Jamesinspace both won. Out of 30-40 entries 2 people won. Honestly, that's exactly what I was looking for. Not sure how that is impossible. Was just trying to come up with something fresh during playoff football. One of my favorite times and I was on a hot streak so just paying it forward. Good luck man, move on and stop worrying about what I'm doing.
