I don't understand the maths of it at all, but your chances of sharing a birthday with a room of 365 other people are much shorter than 366/1.

I'm sure someone like Albert can explain it.

Your chances of sharing a birthday, specifically you, I don't know the maths for.

I was just saying it's physically impossible for there to not be a pair with 367 people although I typo'd it as 366 lol. 

I also seem to recall it being 99% likely with 70 people and 50% likely with... 25?

When you have 367 the probability is 100%

30 players in the first team squad according to wiki, making the chance 70.6%.

Will be higher if you include coaching staff.

100% that someone will share a birthday, but not 100% that would be you.  

Surely 30/365 is the correct odds for an individual, or do you mean 70% chance someone will share the same birthday?

Of a group of 30 people, there is a 70% chance that any two people will share a birthday.
