The Octopus Paul is right again !!!

Paul is right again, and correctly predicted Germany to win 3rd place on Saturday! (Uruguay surprisingly missed the free kick and their final chance to tie at 90+2’.) Paul predicts Spain to win on Sunday. Do you really think Paul will be right again?? Or, just the biggest scam of 2010, and Paul just happens to be wrong this final time, and billions of people worldwide are going to lose their bet ?? Recall: From binomial distribution, the probablilty of Paul being correct all 7 times consecutively is the same as if Paul is correct for the first 6 times, but wrong in the final match. (1/2)^7 = 1 / 128 = 0.781% It is equally like Paul is that good, or the scam is that good.

Spain will win.

whui, you are wrong. It is independent event. You should judge it as that. so there is exactly 50% probably that Paul is right/wrong.

Has anyone SEEN this octo actually pick the team???

It’s the Paul of Cthulhu.

Congrats to Spain !! Congrats to Octopus Paul for being correct 8 times consecutively, for a probability of 1/256 = 0.39% !!

We need to give Paul some clams that say Bull and Bear.
