Ok lets say i have 4 games at 4 different times

10am WY +4 1/2

1PM KY +2 1/2

4PM USC +7 1/2

7PM CAL +2 1/2

What are the odds on all 4 games losing?

BlewByYou · Jan 5, 2004

The same as all 4 winning: 1 in 16

Don't tell me that you are thinking about doubling up until you win!

There is a 1 in 16 chance of losing all 4, (6.25%).

Statistically its the same as four games at the same time. They are all independent of each other and thus (1/2)^4 or 6.25%
