EA Simulation Correctly Picked Super Bowl Champs in September

If only we had listened. What's even more interesting is that according to the article, they've picked the winner 6 of the last 7 years. Make that 7 out of 8!"

  1. with enough chances, all coincidences are shallow. by retchdog · · Score: 3, Insightful

    1. run enough independent simulations to predict each team as winning in one of them.
    2. only report the right one
    3. profit!

    protip: replace "team" with "drug," and "winning" with "effective," for supermegaprofit!

    I can also predict a winner in the final with 50% accuracy using my new simulation called the "coin".
