Alright, let’s quit knocking educated guess makers. Here are media examples of “educated guess” instead:
1. A Cornell University professor with a love for soccer has used math and statistics to predict Brazil will win soccer's World Cup.
“Mathematically speaking, right now, Brazil has the best odds,” Chris Anderson said Thursday in a telephone interview.
Anderson admits his pick is just an educated guess, but he’s willing to back it up by putting cash on Brazil when the 32-team tournament opens Friday in South Africa.
“I am going to put some money down,” he said.
“I’m not going to bet the farm (but) enough to make it worth while. Otherwise, what is the point?”
In making his selection, Anderson computed several factors. He looked at the FIFA world rankings, which have Brazil No. 1; the country’s history of winning a record five championships; and the effect of the tournament being held in South Africa.
Still, choosing Brazil isn’t exactly going out on a limb. Many fans sitting in a bar could make the same pick.
What Anderson does is ignore passion and personalities. He looks at numbers and cold facts.
“I don’t look at who is on the roster right now,” he said. “I don’t look at who has had any injuries. I don’t look at the last time (the teams) played.
“It’s devoid of any of that kind of information.”
