Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
Even if it's a bunch of A-or-B questions it is incorrect to assume that it is 1:32 of getting all 5 correct.
As the first question shows, just because there are 2 choices does not make it a 50/50 proposition.
Atlanta is a significant favorite in this game obviously.
With 2 choices the WORST it can be is 50/50.
If you have any knowledge of football at all then some of these questions will be 60% or higher.
Atlanta has to be a least a 75% favorite to win this game.
Somebody posted that the betting-line on ATL was -600 meaning that the handicappers and sports-bettors out there are making them an even bigger favorite than that.
So that's some of the math behind it.
However...it's also worth noting that this promotion is kind of stupid.
