ESPN's runs a real-time probability chart during the Superbowl.  At the start of the 4th quarter, when the Falcons were leading by 19 points, it gave the Falcons a 86% chance of winning.

Hillary was also given an 86% change of winning election morning (by Nate Silver's 538 blog).

BRexit had around 86% of failing the morning of its vote

The Golden State Warriors had an 86% of winning the NBA championship when they led Cleveland 3 -1 after 4 games.

Nova had a 86% chance of beating MU when leading by 9 with 3 minutes to go.

Not everything is 86%. The Indians only" had a 70% of winning after taking a 3-1 lead over the Cubs after 4 games.

Hmmmm ... maybe this is where the slang term "86" came from.

As in ...

"The Warriors were sure they were going to 86 the Cavs."
"It's not how white men fight." - Tucker Carlson

"Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism." - George Washington

"In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell
