How we calculate these chances:
We checked out all 64 attainable combos of outcomes with 6 matches remaining. We assumed that for any given match the probabilities of both facet profitable are even. We then checked out how lots of the combos put every staff in one of many prime 4 slots by factors. That provides us our chance quantity.
