YoloinOhio Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) http://billsschedulechallenge.com/ By "Life" do they mean the life of the winner or the life of the team? Cuz... Anyway, Deadline is tonight at 11:59pm est. I'm in but don't live there so when I win I'll give to my favorite poster who can go to the games. Edited April 14, 2014 by YoloinOhio
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Will the math whizzes on here let us know the probability of winning? I have got to think it is like less than a .0000X percent chance.
YoloinOhio Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 I just want to beat Patrick Kane - he has his entry in. If no one gets them all right, they will give the one with the most right season tix for 2014.
cantankerous Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 You can only enter if you reside in the 4 states they have as options. I'm SOL.

Yeah, what the hell is up with that? And, actually, it's only three states and Ontario. From the official rules of the contest: "Who May Enter: Contest is open only to legal U.S. residents of New York, Ohio, or Pennsylvania or legal residents of Ontario (Canada), who are aged 18 or older as of date of entry and who have a valid driver’s license or government issued I.D. (the “Registrant,” “Entrant,” or “Contestant”)..."

I have got to think it is like less than a .0000X percent chance. I was talking with a friend about this last week. 17 different options ordered exactly would be 17! if I remember my stats correctly. That comes out to over 300 trillion different combinations. You could trim some of those combinations off taking into account where the bye can't be and odd combos like 8 home games followed by 8 away games and factoring in some of the supposed leaked info... but it would still be significantly harder than winning the mega millions or power ball.

This actually increases your chances of winning JR since you wont be competing with all of the continental United States especially if they really would be giving the tix to the one that comes closest if no one gets them all correct.

Same as with other posters, had I won I'd give the ones I won't attend away.

Really weird considering that they have loyal fans scattered all across the U.S. This board is living proof of that. Maybe this their idea of "regionalizing" the franchise.

Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 If the Thanksgiving game "leak" is to be believed, then at least week 12 is a simple one...
Wayne Cubed Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I filled mine out a couple weeks ago, but there are few you could possibly get right: 1. The Thanksgiving game. 2. They like to close the season against divisional opponents, so 1/3 chance there.
