How many different outcomes are there in a soccer-TOTO with n games?
For each game there are three results: win - loss - equal. So for example with 2 games between team A and B, we can have different outcomes:
A win(1), A loss(-1), A draw(0) for first game and A win(1), A loss(-1), A draw(0) for the next game. Outcomes are like this:
1 1 1 0 1 -1 0 1 0 0 0 -1 -1 1 -1 0 -1 -1

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.
