PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion

[grjr]

My bad. I was thinking of the Dec 24th game in the Alamodome.

[Unoriginalname]

Dec. 8:

Which team will score first in the game on December 12?

a) New Orleans
b) Atlanta

I'm sure glad I "eat, breathe, and sleep" football! People who really follow football have such a huge edge for this promotion it's not even fair!

[junkmail3]

Because the NFL is so predictable!

I think people who know football have about a .0000000000000000000456% greater chance of winning a share of the $1,000,000.

If you have a 50% chance of answering each questions correctly, and there are 40 questions. Your odds of winning are ~1.1 trillion against winning.

To put that in persepective, there are ~6 billion people on this planet. So, you would need 183 planets of the same population as earth before you would average 1 winner per promotion. Good luck.

No amount of football knowledge will give you any edge over anyone. It's like putting a 5 bet accumulator on at the bookmakers. It's a con.

IF you took the money that you gave Party in rake instead to the bookies and put that 5 accumulator bet on, you'd win a lot more than $100.

The only reason to play the promotion is because you are playing at Party anyway.

I meant for this promotion.

If you can pick 5 football bets out of 5 every week you shouldn't be posting here. You should be out there wiping out the bookmakers.

And if you don't normally earn 30 party points per day and are only earning them in order for this promotion because of football knowledge then that could be the dumbest move ever.

Today's Question:

Who will score the first touchdown?
New Orleans
Atlanta

Well, I'd go with Atlanta if you want the +EV choice. I doubt theres much difference in the scope of 40 questions which choice you pick tho. Between this question and yesterday it just depends on what happens in the game. It's not something really predictable.

I'm just pissed I have to watch football now.
