If you ever wondered the real odds of flipping a coin 21 right times and choosing the right side 21 times in a row, or in this case the correct team to win 21 times in a row here is how ya do it. To find the answer all you need to do is multiply 2 by the previous odds, as the correct choice is 1 of 2. thus to get 1 correct you odds are 1/2 then to get two straight you would multiply the previous streak of 1/2 by 2 to get odds of 1/4 to catch a streak of 2. and as follows.
1 straight 1/2
2 straight 1/4
3 straight 1/8
4 straight 1/16
5 straight 1/32
6 straight 1/64
7 straight 1/128
8 straight 1/256
9 straight 1/512
10 straight 1/1,024
11 straight 1/2,048
12 straight 1/4,096
13 straight 1/8,192
14 straight 1/16,384
15 straight 1/32,768
16 straight 1/65,536
17 straight 1/131,072
18 straight 1/262,144
19 straight 1/524,288
20 straight 1/1,048,576
21 straight 1/2,097,152
In my case I have a current streak of 3 going so my odds to win the whole thing and get 21 in a row is now a mere 1 in 262,144. However I think I will(21 in a row) will be hit sooner than most think. Cappers these days are better. Look at the previous years contests. To make top 5 in any given sport a few years ago you didnt need more than 10k in units, now you need near 20k in units, obviously points differ for sports but seems like it will be sooner than later. Maybe before the snow all comes and goes in the northeast. My guess is before tax season.
