Dnas Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 That's just weird.Would be funny if they stay correct for this election and many later ones and people will be interested in the game just to see the 'results' of the election.lol..

Black Op Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/foot...0178/index.htmlSeems the Redskins lost yesterday's game, so that should be a good omen for Kerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijitmaker Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Its pretty interesting factoid isn't it here is a quote from another article citing the same thing:That amounts to 18 times in a row that the games and the election results have matched. The chances of that happening are 1 in 263.5 million, more than 2,600 times higher than the chance of being killed by a lightning strike.http://www.fosters.com/October_2004/10.31....s/sun_1031s.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hmm.... are you sure those numbers are correct?Assuming a 50% chance of winning or losing, the probability should be 1/(2^18)But that's 1 in 262,144. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Looks like they are wrong.Bush is the winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Well isn't this just perfect, the one time I decide that the Redskins could decide yet another election and they got proven wrong. Guess they are as accurate as exit polls now....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
