It's therefore 168/1 of not having at least one 2-2 in 100 matches.https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/29757043/streaks-and-probability-question?post_id=528716877#528716877you get 0,00592 which is telling you that it's a 0,592 % chance of not getting a 2-2 result in 100 matches.

So 0.95 squared 100 times gives me 5.92. But what does that mean? Would you get a 2-2 draw at least once per hundred games 5.92 times to one streak when you didn't?https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/29757043/streaks-and-probability-question?post_id=528716731#528716731Thanks.
