I highly doubt anyone will ever win this contest.
Odds appear to be about 5-6/1 this year on teams scoring over 6 in any game outside coors field. Even if it was 4-1, the odds of hitting 7 in a row on a 4-1 are huge (circa 16,000 to 1), let alone 10x

Very humble suggestion from the Bar n Grill, acknowledging full respect for the creativity needed to make a contest like this:

Lower the number to FIVE.

Five is the MLB average across the board, sans Coors Field. Thus you have just under a 50% chance to win.

As noted above, the odds therefore on winning seven in a row is equivalent to winning a 7 team parlay...128 to 1.

Meaning of course that 6.5 is almost insurmountable.

FIVE of course means SIX is needed to advance your streak. But FIVE would mean your streak remains stalled...(a PUSH) and you continue the next day.

AND/OR lower the tiers for winning to SIX consecutive correct choices gets $100, which would be 64to1 chance (assuming 5 is the target number each day).

Thanks for your consideration.
