Luck
Bowling a perfect game (300)
Odds
1 in 11,500
per game (amateur) · General (amateur bowling)
What this means
Roughly in the same ballpark as an amateur hole-in-one — and much more likely than a royal flush.
Methodology
Commonly cited amateur 300-game odds around 1 in 11,500. Highly skill-dependent; league bowlers and pros convert far more often.
