What is SOCCER-TOTO?
Can you please give a link or an example about this problem? Thanks

The question appears to ask for the number of potential outcomes of N soccer games where each game may be either a W, L, or T. Thus N=1 has 3 outcomes. The reality of soccer says the true number of expected outcomes is 1, with a total goal sum of 0, ALL 0-0 Ties.
