Soccer Tournament Predictor

[Jlouis]

Some cups ago, an Octopus, IIRC, predicted many results correctly. Some people earn money betting on its prediction.

One very smart guy, expert in statistics, predicted that the Vegas Golden Nights would won the Stanley Cup (NHL hockey). Many people laughed, because this was the first season of Vegas Golden Nights, and nobody believed that they could win. They were champion of the west league, but made the final against Washington Capitals for the Stanley Cup and lost the play offs.

Unfortunately the statistical guy died in an airplane accident, before knowing that he would almost hit his prediction.
