what result actually happens though--like Volkov by SUB--is the "spin of the roulette wheel"...this is, after all, the science-informed art of gambling, not the science of sports-prediction...
when something happens like that (with a z-score of at least /4/)...you realize why intelligent bet-sizing is your only insurance policy
