The guy who's 5% in the poles has a postive chance (maybe 1/googalplex)
of winning. You can say that you "knew he had no chance of winning"
but that won't be quite right.
...But only to a pedant. For Normal Humans, even 1:1,000,000 counts as
"0 chance."
However, a much closer race, say 60% to 40% (I have a crossword to do,
so I'm not working out the math just now) in the poles, would give
45% about 1/million.
