Sports probability

Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty. 

Probability  helps us to quantify uncertainty and make predictions in various fields, including mathematics, statistics, and science.

In the last 24hrs approximately this time, Nigerians sat at sports watching centres and in their rooms, shaking their buttocks in ecstasy. Many were agog, happily to the high heavens as they watch the Super Eagle defeated the indomitable Lions of the Cameroun.

No one had predicted outcome
No one ever thought Nigeria could meet Cameroun in this tournament
No prophet ever predicted the match


Everything was placed on uncertain probability until they teams met, until they played, and until the Nigerian Super Eagle won.

Sports probability was out of this contest!
