Probability in Games and Sports

Winning (and Losing) with Probability

Whether you're rolling dice, playing cards, or cheering for your favorite team, probability is behind the scenes! Understanding the odds can help you play smarter and enjoy games more.

Using Probability

  • Calculate your chances of drawing a winning hand.
  • Figure out the best strategy in board games.
  • Predict the likelihood of a sports team winning based on past results.

Probability makes games more exciting and shows you how to make smart bets or choices.

Examples

  • Calculating the chance of rolling doubles in Monopoly (6/36 = 1/6).

  • Predicting the probability that your basketball team will win three games in a row, given their win rate.
