Rich & Charles Win Bowl Pool!

Check Final Results Page to see who the winners are.


Expected Values with:

15 games to go

13 games to go

12 games to go

11 games to go

10 games to go

7 games to go

Expected Value charts show your chances of winning or placing in the pool assumming each each of the remaining games is equally likely to go either way. The expected value averages out your winning chances (multiplied by the amount to win) with the losing chances to yield the current expected value of your pool entry.

I need to point out a key fact: In recent years, the leaders on these early expected value charts have NOT ended up doing that well.
