Good Afternoon,
Been using the wealth of knowledge here for a long time. I usually find the answer to my question already posted so have never had to post before.
So as a first time poster I must take the time to say thank you to all the contributors here, your time and expertise is very much appreciated!
Now onto my question.
We run a “confidence pool” at work during the NFL season.
Basically each player picks a winner of each of the 16 games each week and applies a value of 1 to 16 based on the confidence of the pick.
Each number can only be used once.
Example:
G1-V-#5, G2-V-#10, G3-H-#12, G4-V-#15….G16-H-8
G = Game number
H = Pick Home to win
V = Pick Visitor to win
# = confidence rating
If your pick is correct after the game ends you get the corresponding points added to your total.
After all games played the point leader wins that week’s pool.
What I am looking for some assistance on is being able to analyze the picks once submitted to see out of the 65, 536 possible combinations of outcomes of a 16 game week who has what percentage of the 65,536 in wins.
In other words if my game results were 1011011100011001 and that gave me a total of 68 points and those same results give player 2 a total of 96 points then player 2 wins that 1 out of 65,536.
In addition I would like to continue the analysis during the games and see who no longer has any possibility of winning as the results start to come in.
Hope this all makes sense.
