Conceived by Mathematica creator and scientist Stephen Wolfram as a way to bring computational exploration to the widest possible audience, the Wolfram Demonstrations Project is an open-code resource that uses dynamic computation to illuminate concepts in science, technology, mathematics, art, finance, and a remarkable range of other fields.\n\nIts daily-growing collection of interactive illustrations is created by Mathematica users from around the world, who participate by contributing innovative Demonstrations.

Very interesting. Remember that to convert a:b odds (against, which is what the folks laying the bets will give) to probabiilty you take p=b/(a+b). This site lists the Yankees as 2:1 to win the American League, so if you think the probability is greater than 1/3 you should take the bet (theoretically speaking; please obey all applicable laws!). The Red Sox are 7:4, giving p=4/11.

Heavy coding but wow effect!

Could be used with a nerf ball to create some great statistics!
