The Odds of Going Pro – Using 40,000 Marbles


What a project…I learned so much, far more than I had anticipated.

I also ran into so many data dead ends when researching this video (more than any). Unfortunately, most of the “odds” out there are just completely wrong (part of why I made this)…so I would like to thank all the people that helped me with this video:

  1. Well we need to clarify some stuff about the MLB. Are you counting the majors? There’s Minor leagues under the MLB umbrella. So that inflates the MLB one quite a bit.

  2. this video production is absolutely breathtaking, about halfway through the video i went to look at the viewcount expecting millions and millions of views just for my jaw to drop only seeing 400k. this is a special video and i'll definitely be watching more.

  3. Growing up I knew and played sports with several athletes who got pretty close, one was on an NFL practice squad before being cut. Is it likely to go pro? No. But it's not as astronomically rare as you make it seem

  4. Its the wrong way to look at it. How many of those kids actually try to go pro. Better way to look at it is how many people turn pro that put in the amount of work every week that ronaldo does, your then looking at great odds.

  5. Okay

    But how many are born healthy

    Actually grow up playing sport

    Are genuinely good at sport

    All of a sudden it’s 1/500 or so.
    We all have someone from your school that went pro in some sport

  6. And yet we have 3 Hughes brothers and about 14 staals in the NHL. If they were from different families not a single chance they’d all be in the NHL 😂😂😂

  7. Although this video is very cool, I feel that the numbers don’t mean much. There are plenty of youth players that have no plans of going pro. I’d like to see the stats of how many people there are that go pro within the group of people that attempt to go pro. One really has to give it their all in their early adult years to even see if they have a chance. The amount of people that even attempt it must be very small, so maybe the odds of going pro from actually attempting it aren’t so bad after all.
