POLL -- Whiskey Bet: TIA / Diseqc

[coit]

Just want to make sure we don't lose track of this. I figure it is the only way we will get either of these guys to a game this year.

A bottle of whiskey says we win more than 5.

Deal.

GT at 4 wins, gotta win 2 of Duke/UNC/VT/UVA/UGA for TIA to win. Vote in da poll for our most likely wins.

I would say the odds are pretty even at this point, right at 50-50 in my opinion.

=====================================================
===================== RESULTS ========================
=====================================================

The results are in. See spreadsheet below.

Out of 71 voters, including Diseqc who voted for 0, here's the probabilities as determined by ST'ers.

TIA to win: 85.9%
Diseqc to win: 14.1%

I don't know if this just represents an optimistic fanbase, or if people here just really hate Diseqc and want him to have to buy TIA some whiskey.

I do think it is encouraging to see that almost 60% of us believe we will win at least 3 more games.

I added a poll. Vote for up to 3.

 

[Diseqc]

Odds are in TIA's favor something like 60:40.

He should have to buy me two bottles if I win.

Double or nothing? Ballsy move.

Huh. I didn't know that when I voted. There's doesn't seem to be a way to go back and vote for 2 more teams though. Am I missing something?

No I didn't set it to allow votes to be changed.

Pole fail. Can't vote for 0 teams

@coit - will you compare these results to the preseason picks when this poll is closed?

If anyone other than you wants to register their vote as zero here, I'll factor it in.

"Which 1 to 3 teams are we MOST LIKELY to beat?"

If you think we will beat all 5, pick the 3 easiest.

Technically, the wording is "most likely to beat", so 5 wins or 5 losses could still be your prediction without the poll failing.

Edit: OP beat me to it.

 

[Diseqc]

Really the whole bet comes down to the Duke game. Lose there and I'm sitting pretty, win and TIA is overwhelmingly ahead.

Pole fail. All 5 are easiest.
