Wow that team really sucks. Nine percent chance of winning a game?! Just give up.

How many do you think they'd win? Take an (educated) guess based on the 9% and 10K matches.

Oh they're only playing two matches, not 10,000 matches. They're just simulating the two matches 10,000 times. 

So they play two matches, and only have a 9% chance of winning each math. If they played just two matches, with only 9% chance of winning, you wouldn't expect them to win ANY games right? 91% of the time, they're losing a game
