Re: What do you think the Odds of this NBA prop should be?

If this is true, then this is 10 times in 6075 games, giving a probability of 1/607.5 chance for each individual game. You could estimate the chance that this score does NOT happen for the rest of the year (approx 950 games remaining) as (1-(1/607.5))^950 = 0.209 ==> 21%
Looks like you should be GETTING 4 to 1 odds, not giving, if you are the person who says this score will not occur. Seems crazy.
Of course, this is assuming alot of things about statistical data that I cannot confirm, but for a crazy prop like this it might be a jumping off point.
Edit: It's late and this seems like a horrible way of figuring out the probability, but if you could confirm that there is 607 to 1 chance that this score occurs in an individual game then there is an 80% chance it will occur AT LEAST ONCE in 950 games.
