I've always hated probability studies. What makes matters worse is that my game for Saturday has been postponed and I can now go - are there any tickets left?

I know it's very academic, but here is my thinking. Looking at some combinations Hull 0 pts - 2%, Leeds 2 or more 60% = 1% approx Hull 1 pt - 6%, Leeds 3 or more 55% = 3% approx Hull 2 pts - 4%, Leeds 4 or more 20% = 4% approx Hull 3 or 4 points - 74%, Leeds 6 points 5% = 4% approx OK That's about 12% - not quite as bad as I 1st thought. Add 0.5 percent for the chances of overtaking Barnsley or Leicester and it gives us a 12.5 or 1 in 8 chance of staying up. Better than I thought.
