BOSTON (CBS) — The Patriots have won 19 of their last 25 coin tosses. This has caught the nation’s attention.
“For Bill Belichick, Patriots’ strategy is no flip of the coin,” reads the Boston Globe headline.
“Lucky or good? Patriots winning coin tosses at nearly impossible rate,” said Yahoo.
“Patriots have no need for probability, win coin flip at impossible clip,” CBSSports said.
Obviously because this is the Patriots, a simple explanation like “that is the potential nature of a 50-50 probability” just doesn’t cut it. That’s because, according to CBS Sports, the probability of winning it at least 19 out of 25 times is 0.0073 — less than three-quarters of one percent!
Clearly, something more must be going on behind the scenes (Ernie Adams, anyone???), and Toucher & Rich weren’t afraid to throw out some possibilities.
