I would say that if Crafty's expected score against Shredder in around 25-30%
then in a 10 game match there is still a reasonable chance of getting a 50%
score.  Someone else can probably give the exact probability but I'd guess it is
at least 10%, in which case it certainly seems worth 'hoping for'.
