  Winning Streak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winning Streak is an Irish game show, shown live on Saturday nights on RTÉ One, and funded by the An Post National Lottery Company.
Before they moved on, Streak reached inside his head, and if he pulled out a bonus wheel, then that was added to their wheel count and they moved on.
Winning Streak celebrates 15 years on air with the 2005-2006 series.

 Streak of the Year (2002):  The Oakland A's Win 20 Straight   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Whether for these reasons or others, I have selected the American League-record 20-game winning streak of the Oakland A's as the streak of the year (the overall Major League Baseball record is 26 straight wins by the National League's New York Giants in 1916).
The average length of a "longest winning streak" over each of the 100 simulated seasons was 10.0 (it must be remembered that this distribution of seasonal longest streaks applies only for teams with a 64% chance of winning any given game; the distribution would be different for teams with different winning percentages).
A logical argument for such an expectation is that winning a game contributes both to the team's win total for the season and to the length of any winning streak.

 Kansas City Chiefs - Winning streak no burden for Patriots
Now before you log off and figure you don’t need to read a web site to have your intelligence insulted, ask yourself if you were one of those fans who thought it would be a good idea for the Chiefs to lose a game during their undefeated start.
The Patriots take a 14-game winning streak into the Super Bowl against the Carolina Panthers and it’s hard to see where they would have been better off interrupting their streak.
Winning, no matter how ugly, is almost always a sign of strength.

 Sports - Second-longest winning streak belongs to HSU
To put Mount Union’s winning streak in perspective, consider this: If the Purple Raiders lose sometime this season, Hardin-Simmons would still have to win every game for the next three years just to catch the three-time defending NCAA Division III national champions.
Winning at Oklahoma or winning at Mount Union is obviously different, but it is phenomenal at any division.
Hardin-Simmons’ current winning streak, which is a school record, will be tested Saturday when the Cowboys play rival Howard Payne (4-2 overall and 3-0 in the ASC).

 Deacons Haul Six-Game Winning Streak To Virginia :: Wake Forest meets the Cavaliers Tuesday at 7 p.m. on ESPN2
Wake's win at Maryland Feb. 28 was its ninth ACC win of the season, securing a winning record in league play for the third straight year.
The win at Maryland also guaranteed that Wake Forest will finish at least tied for third in the final ACC standings for the third straight year and for the eighth time in the last 12 years.
One more win would also give the Deacons double-digit ACC victories for the second straight year, for the sixth time in 12 years and for the 11th time in the 51-year history of the league.

 Boston.com / Sports / Football / Patriots / Steelers snap Patriots' record winning streak
But their bid to make it 22 victories in succession ended under ideal conditions on a late afternoon when the Steelers delighted a franchise record gathering of 64,737 with a truly inspired performance.
In the team's pregame notes, the media was informed that "The Patriots have recorded a one-game winning streak 21 consecutive times, setting an all-time record for the 85-year history of pro football." "It was never about the streak," said linebacker Mike Vrabel.
Week after week the Patriots had, as the pundits like to say, "found a way to win." This time, however, they submitted a brilliant formula for defeat, combining a sputtering offense with a defense that allowed a disturbing 417 yards, of which a whopping 221 came on the ground.

 Brock women continue winning streak - Sports
It was a lead that they would never forfeit and a sign of dominance that had not been accentuated since their RMC win earlier in the month, and more importantly, a sign that the Badgers are a serious Ontario University Athletics (OUA) contender.
Going into the game, the Badgers were in a three-way tie for second place in the OUA West with Laurier and McMaster, the team they would face that afternoon and a team that they had beaten earlier in the season on their turf in Hamilton.
With a win, the Badgers would tie Guelph's record to lead the division, but according to Ebeling and Allan, the game is just as important as every other game and that they will give the same strong effort.

ALBUQUERQUE — With an 18-game winning streak, the last place the Utah basketball team should play its next game is at The Pit, home of the New Mexico Lobos.
Seven years earlier, on Feb. 2, 1991, the Utes' 17-game winning streak came to an end in The Pit when the Lobos won 68-62, also coming back from a nine-point deficit in the second half.
The Utes could be ripe for a letdown tonight after accomplishing their prime goal for the season of winning the Mountain West Conference title.

In due time I was given my set of forms and after completing them was ushered into an office with about six other contestant hopefuls to sit down in front of the contestant coordinator, a man in his mid-twenties who spoke with a southern drawl.

 Post-Crescent - UW’s 37-game home winning streak put to the test   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Today, UW (11-3 overall, 2-1 Big Ten) puts its streak on the line in a nationally televised showdown against No. 15 Michigan State (10-2, 2-0), which saw its Big Ten-record 53-game home winning streak snapped three years ago this month by the Badgers.
Despite all the attention surrounding this streak, and all the hype sure to be generated by CBS broadcasters Verne Lundquist and Billy Packer, Ryan and his players have said precious few words about the streak, preferring to let their performance speak for itself.
To understand the rarity of winning streaks like this at Wisconsin, realize that the last time the Badgers reeled off anywhere near this many consecutive home victories was from March 8, 1911 to Jan. 23, 1915, when they won 33 straight.

 deseretnews.com | Utes' winning streak likely won't end soon
Looking at the Utes' remaining schedule, it's possible they could duplicate the feat of six years ago and extend their winning streak to the NCAA Tournament, in which case they would shatter the record set in 1999.
With six more MWC wins, the streak would reach 21, and three wins in the MWC Tournament would break the mark at 24.
The Utes will be favored to extend the streak to 17, which would match the third longest in history, with home games coming up against last-place Colorado State Saturday night and Wyoming Monday night.
