Kinda funny how people are going crazy about a 1.8% chance event actually happening, yet will go to Vegas and put a big bet on a number on the roulette table.
Statistically, a 1-in-50 chance happens pretty often. Mavs have 1 championship in about 45 years of trying. And now our second #1 draft pick.
A few other similar probabilities:
- Developing rheumatoid arthritis (lifetime): 1 in 28 (Arthritis Foundation)
- Being a victim of identity theft (annual): 1 in 20
- Dying in a car accident (lifetime): 1 in 107
- Dying from a drug overdose (lifetime): 1 in 70
- Getting audited by the IRS (annual): 1 in 161
- Developing Alzheimer’s disease (lifetime): 1 in 10
- Having your home catch fire (lifetime): 1 in 3
- Being born with a birth defect (lifetime): 1 in 33
- Contracting the flu (annual): 1 in 10
