Quick math question ...

[Lennon]

Let's say I have calculated that there will be 3.4 goals scored in a game. Is there a formula that will tell me how often the game will go over 2.5? So 3 goals or more ... I thought I found what I was looking for here but in the rules it says "the event needs to occur one at a time (so the number of points scored in an basketball game couldn't be Poisson)"

Re: Quick math question ... To answer your question you need to calculate not only the expected number of goals in the match but also the variance (or the standard deviation) of the number of goals.
