You may remember the Octopus that accurately predicted the Soccer World Cup outcome. In an article describing his curious ability to pick sports outcomes, the SI reporter who obviously has never bet on sports, offered this gem....
From SportsIllustrated -- Probability experts were quoted in media reports saying the likelihood of getting eight consecutive picks right is 1/256.
As if it takes an MIT graduated "probability expert" to multiply 1/2 by itself, 8 times. It's not rocket science, dude.
