Interesting Wager: Thoughts?

[kiddiedoc]

So, my business partner and I have a surf and turf bet on whether the football or basketball team will finish with a better regular season SEC record this year. I have hoops. Would love to lose.

The way things are going, the lobster might win.

 

[BearCat204]

Hoops..............they play more games

 

[Domestic Silence]

Either way, we all lose.

true, we never clarified what would happen if both teams go 0-for.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Hoops..............they play more games

the record would be based on win percentage.

 

[Special Ed]

I think the basketball team will have both more wins and more losses.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

the record would be based on win percentage.

But still, more games makes it easier on the percentages. 1 loss in football is 12.5%, 1 loss in bball is 5.5%.

U got the better deal for sure, especially with sec bball being a lot weaker than football. Enjoy your surf and turf

Just tell him you meant the LVs...

 

[james_govols]

Win percentage? I'd have to say basketball.

...What?

One win is also 12.5% in football.

Number of games doesn't matter...

I don't think you're gonna lose.

Apparently we are lacking for mathematicians in this forum.

 

[terrypedigo]

Basketball team a little below 500, and the football team 6-6.

Ok, my point still stands, sec bball is weaker than football. And trust me, we will have more losses than wins in one of the two, if not both., and I'm not a negavol. Realist maybe... We can hav more losses in bball and doc stills wins. Number of games matters significantly

And Doc, I promise u, my math skills are on point. Degree in atmospheric physics can argue that.

Basketball, but like you, hope I'm wrong

 

[Slydell]

I think basketball wins this bet.

 

[RollerVol]

Common sense...where do they rank at the end of the season. :hi:
GO VOLS!

SEC schedule only. 4-4 this year would be a huge achievement for the football team.

 

[kiddiedoc]

atmospheric physics

If that means you are a meteorologist, you just lost all credibility.

Just messing with you. I think I get your point... More room for error (losses) in hoops and still be able to get to .500. If the football team tanks a game or two that we should win, then it's over.

 

[ImportedVoL]

I refuse to count a loss before it happens.. Football team is undefeated in 2014, The Basketball team is not. They have lost numerous games in 2014.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Football at 6-7

Basketball at 16-14

 

[kiddiedoc]

I feel like I'm speaking a foreign language...

 

[governmentmule]

you should have went with the Lady Vols kiddedoc
