That is our chance of winning the premiership.

It assumes we will need to win the next 8 games and each game is 50/50.
In reality whilst we are prob favourites to beat WCE and North, we will be underdogs in the other 6 games.
So 0.4% overstates our chances.

I was about to say 'well that can't be right' - but now I see what you've done there with the %! Sounds so much better in fact than 4 in a thousand!

Whilst there is life there is hope.

I like those odds! We've lulled the others into a false sense of security, now we are set to pounce, doggies-style (I know what you're all thinking. It says doggies!). Where there's life, there's hope. This will even trump the doggies efforts if we can pull it off! (There I go again, channeling Benny Hill). Cue music.


I think you're pretty tough, don't I?

So if you had $50 on St Kilda this weekend at say $1.85

and bet all up each game for the next 8 (obviously if they lose you are out)

and you assume an average price of $1.85 (very conservative)

then you would collect $6860 after the win in the grand final!!
