Default Re: What are the odds?

a 6:1 has a probability of 6/7 of not coming in. a 22:1 has a 22/23 probability of not coming in. the probability that neither comes in is (6/7)*(22/23) = 132/161 ~ 82%.

my guess is that you misstated these, and were the favorite in each case... hence there was only about an 18% youd get sucked out on both of these.
