Draft Kings, the crown is yours.

Statistics, something I have been thinking about as a math person, pretty much my whole life.

Recently, the notion of statistics have taken on a brand new meaning, probabilities, thoughts,

chances, a way to predict what's going to happen going forward?

Why else would you use statistics?

In sports, we try to say to ourselves, well,

Aaron Judge hits 330.

That means odds are there's a 33% chance he's going to get a hit

because 33 times out of 100 he'll get a hit

that's 3 30 we sit at the roulette wheel and say hey it's 50-50 forget the zero and the zero

so it's not quite 50-50 but close enough that that sort of counts flipping of a coin what are

the stats of that well if we get we get ahead, that's 50%.

Now a tail, 50%.

We do this with baseball.

Constantly.

The odds of everything happening.

There's a playoff series going on now.

It's the wild card round, three games, one ballpark.

You've been watching.
