I haven’t answered many questions on here lately, but here’s a recent one I was asked by Bruce from Texas.

“Hi Ed,

When I flip a coin, what are the odds of getting heads 9 times in a row?

thank you, Bruce “

A. To work out the odds of this happening, you have to work out the odds of getting heads once, then multiply that by the 9 occurrences needed to return the defined result.

So the odds of getting heads once is 1 out of two possible outcomes, or 50% (0.5). So we then multiply that chance nine times.

0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.001953

The answer is 0.001953% or roughly 2 in 1000.

So it’s not very likely, but will definitely happen every so often.

In a clear implementation of its “Bros first” policy, BodogBrand has offered Tiger Woods a 5-year $100 million sponsorship deal with a non-morality clause. What goes on in Tiger’s personal life stays will stay in his personal life, and Bodog will honor its deal regardless of his conduct.

From Calvin Ayre himself, founder of Bodog:

‘BodogBrand feel they are the only ones who can extend a deal that will be totally unaffected by any non-golf related activity. We actively encourage and endorse employees and customers alike to “Play Hard”,’ he said.

But the stone-cold pimpingest thing that Ayre has said about the whole situation?

‘To be clear, BodogBrand is not telling Tiger “all is forgiven”. In BodogBrand’s eyes, there is nothing to forgive.’

I reckon there is something for his wife to forgive, but the rest of us? No. What did he do to the public, other than provide a convenient gossip topic? I see where you’re coming from, Calvin, and I think potential Bodog players will too.

I like the spirit of this deal, and I like that it offers serious money. Tiger has had slumps in the past, yet he always recovers from them. Aside from the scandal, he has also been suffering from a neck injury, so a lot is going against him right now. Nevertheless, even if he misses the Memorial Tournament and plays poorly in the US Open, he is still going to recover over the 5 years of the sponsorship deal. Offering Tiger $100 million acknowledges that he is still the best in the world, and that Bodog isn’t trying to give Tiger a bum deal because of his recent ill fortune.

Regardless of whether the deal goes through, Bodog certainly has our attention! If you would like to bet on sports, play poker or try your luck in the casino, then sign up for a Bodog account today.

Sportsbook Casino recently saw one of its players take its biggest ever casino jackpot on the appropriate 5-reel Reel Sports slots. Anthony M. of New Jersey has won $577,011.58 in prize money after watching the jackpot like a hawk for the past few months. He’s been with Sportsbook.com since 2000, so this would have been a pleasant surprise after almost a decade with the site.

Anthony’s strategy was pretty simple: just keep playing.

“I noticed back in December that the jackpot was getting pretty high. I knew someone was going to get it so I’ve been playing a lot. I almost quit a couple times and then it hit – last night.”

He’s got similarly straightforward plans for his winnings, too.

“I’m going to pay off some house debt for sure and I also plan on helping some family members that need some help,” he said. “Also, my parent’s 40th anniversary is coming up so they’ll be getting a very nice and long vacation.”

It’s always good to hear about a big jackpot win at an online casino, especially when the winner’s loyalty to a particular site has paid off. He clearly doesn’t need it, but good luck to Anthony in the future anyway.

Some even have jackpots worth millions of dollars, like Jackpot Pinatas at Cherry Red Casino!
