Here the odds:
Sports: asciijump battleball billard-gl flying    foobillard
        (ski)     (ball)     (billard)  (billard) (billard)
              
Simulation: achilles  csmash       flightgear  gtkpool   matrem   xlife
           (lifesim) (tennistable) (flightsim) (billard) (lifesim) (life game)

This is based on
